Stumblings

StumbleUpon.com is a place for serendipity. It's in stumbling upon things that we find ourselves getting some answers while asking more questions. Stumbling makes me excited, curious, and thirsty for more — more of this world's riddles, strangeness, and beauty. So let's start a new feature here on Stuff&nonsense: Stumblings — things I find and things I "like" (literally).



Our inaugural Stumbling? Forced-perspective photography. What is it? "A technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera."
