Scope and content
Although it appears that we are looking through someone's Japanese style backyard patio or garden at the Narrows Bridge, this is actually a small scale model of a garden structure enhanced in size by trick photography and perspective. The small model has bonsai shrubbery, Japanese style futons, a water feature with tiny sculpture and curved seating around an outdoor stove to take away that Northwest chill. The bridge is shown at actual size. Photo series ordered by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association.
