This month's Portfolio magazine featured a set of "Tilt Shift" photos from photographer Vincent Laforet. "Tilt Shift" is a style of photography where you find a focus (usually from up above) and then blur all around that focus. This makes the final image appear to look like a railroad model layout. This can be done with a special lens, or you can fake it with PhotoShop. I've yet to perfect this, luckily others have.
