3-Inch Mini Giants Versus the Real Thing
Was in Edwardsville Illinois last weekend for the Miles of Possibilities conference and took a quick trip up to Atlanta for the final weekend for the season to see the American Giants Museum, and brought along some minis I made for some photos with their counterparts. Made these quick fly-out vids to capture the difference in size (3inches vs 20+ feet)

Help support my Dad’s historical Fiction about Route 66!
Two men. Two journeys. A single destination, a century apart. The Road to the Purple Onion follows the paths of Billy Delaney, former child star, and Emmett Stuart, long-distance runner, set against the backdrop of the First Annual International Trans-Continental Footrace of 1928, and how faith and fate bring them together.
