I've spent 2 years creating this project called "Tiny Wasteland". The series feature miniature figures placed next to everyday objects in order to create the illusion of microscopic worlds.

My journey as a creator of miniature worlds started in the English Channel, on an island called Herm. I was a chef for 10 years at that time, and I really wanted to be a food photographer. That was my dream. I was traveling a lot because I also worked on a cruise ship across the world.

When I finally bought my own professional camera with a macro lens (those are perfect for food photos) I started to shoot close-ups, but I wasn't really up for bugs and flowers. One day in Guernsey I found a train model shop and I bought some miniature worker figures. I put them on a piece of moss, behind a small rock and I realized that I created a tiny world. I found myself at that moment, that was my very own world. 80% of my pictures are still food-related because I still love food like crazy.

    To make dioramas I had to learn to build, and paint, so I got 2 more skills during this time.

    Besides food photography and miniature world making, I also love concert photography. It used to be my first moneymaker photographer job, but now it is just a hobby. I love to be on stage in a huge festival in front of ten thousand people, but only if I have a camera in my hand which covers my face.

    At the beginning of my creative process, I was ordering the mini-figures from the internet, but a year ago I realized there is a limit to those figures in the world. Last January I bought a 3D printer, and I started to make my own figures. The buildings are Faller sets, but I have to build them myself of course.

    These microscopic worlds are my livelihood now. I had some exhibitions here at home in Hungary and also in Beijing, Moscow, and London. I take pictures for advertisements too and I love it because it's truly challenging! It lets my works spread around the world as well.

    I love these miniature things around me, and I just moved to a bigger house, so finally I can build a whole city, the real Tiny Wasteland at home!

    "Do You Have Pepsi?" Someone asking that by those tables would be really brave, a real rebell (... or foolish)

    Nasturtiums are tricky work; everyone knows that. Rob's survived some hairy situations, and it made him one of the best there ever was. He hand-picked and trained this team. If people need a stem excavation or repair, they know to call on the Nasties - we get the job done right, we get it done fast, and we get it done safe.

    Rub salt on it first, then mince rosemary, basil, sage and garlic. Rub the dry rub (herbs on it). Bake until center mass is 150 - 155. And you're all saying, but it needs to be 160! The temperature will continue to rise after you take it out. If you leave it in the oven until it hits 160 it will dry out too much. A bit of pink in the center is perfectly fine.
