When I was a kid, my sister had a whole herd of those toy horses (about ten inches high?) and my brothers loved to build models of planes and stuff. One of their activities was to set the horse/model on the sidewalk, have the owner go stand way back in the nursing home’s yard*, and have the photographer lie on his/her stomach in our yard and snap a photo that looked like Keren was petting her horse, or that Mark or Phil were standing by their car or plane. I don’t think I was allowed to help, since I’ve had poor photography skills since birth. However, the idea of trick photography is still a good one.
For instance, the two boys who built this:
Were in awe that it could look like this:
“It’s like a real tunnel!” See, Brad – tiny dinosaurs. That’s where it’s at.
* Yes, I grew up next to a nursing home. It was a little strange.
