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.

Somewhere I have a picture of me picking the nose of one of the Mt. Rushmore presidents.

It’s just like going into the San Francisco Bay Bridge!

I love it!. But is the car on the left having trouble? A flat tire maybe? He looks as if he had to pull off to the side. (Or maybe the other car wasn’t paying attention to the lines and was hogging the road…) So realistic.
