Juxtaposition 2

They say timing is everything, but some photographs (such as these) become brilliant or hilarious because both the timing and the angle work out just right. Sometimes this means catching people or objects lined up perfectly at the ideal moment. Other times these are staged for maximum effect. Here are 20 examples of photos taken at the exact right angle.

Distance Illusion 2

Illusions of Distance: These can be anything from poetic to comedic or even crass, as the above images demonstrate. Almost always such shots are staged, but sometimes in public you might catch just the right elements in alignment to create an accidental masterpiece of art or humor.

Humorous Closeup 2

Impossible People and Animals: these can be silly or sublime, depending upon the subject, but almost inevitably result in a confused double-take. We all know what people can and can’t do, how they are built, what the limits of the human body are, yet some images challenge the brain and create illusions.

Intentional Overlap 1

Humorous Closeup 4

The Art of Juxtaposition: a set of objects, people and/or animals behaving normally independently can take on a new life entirely when properly juxtaposed in a picture. What might seem like very ordinary behavior, from grabbing a magazine to stretching for a job, can take on a new and strange meaning when captured on film from just the right angle.

Very nice. I remember when that picture of the ballet dancer was in the paper (”Richmond Times Dispatch”), then it was on Jay Leno, and a few more places before I ran across it again here.
Nice collection..

I don’t get the last one….what???
on 03 Dec 2007 at 1:47 pm12Lenny

In that first picture, which is my favorite - is that Dick Cheney’s cat?
on 03 Dec 2007 at 11:02 pm13Andrew

I don’t get the one with the woman blowing smoke. What’s up with it? It looks normal… to me.
on 04 Dec 2007 at 12:59 am14Sam Fisher

Lenny,

You know what, I am really starting to wonder whether it really was Cheney who shot that day, or was it his cat?

A conspiracy maybe?

Lets theorize.

Dear Ones,

Thanks for your beautiful and wonderful pictures.

I want to add some word regarding Mr. Andrew question ( No. 13 of 03.12.2007 ) about the women who blowing smoke. If i’m right, i want to say that in fact said woman is not smoking and the appeared smoke is for the end of picture, near to building.

Anyway, wish you all success.
