About That Biden-Carter Photo

There's a photo making the rounds recently in which Joe and Jill Biden are posed with Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. It's innocent enough at first glance but if you look at it for more than 1 second, the Biden's look absolutely enormous. It's bizarre and hysterical. If you want to understand why this photo - which is not Photoshopped - looks this way; turn your attention to this great distortion explainer that runs through the differences between optical and perspective distortion. It's a very nerdy bit of photography insight but an interesting read.

If we're being honest, I just wanted to save that image to my site so I can revisit the weirdness whenever I want.
