I am going to need to have an intermission in this series (more than halfway done) as real world needs are demanding my attention for a while - nothing bad, just life. So to tide you over until I return, I'm leaving you with one of my all-time favorite photos. (Don't miss the hi-res.)
This will be at the top of the blog for some weeks at least, so it will be easy to find if you choose to ... ahem ... revisit.
Ok, this is pretty much what you expected would come next, right? Who could resist kissing and licking nipples right in your face? There’s a technical twist, however …
When thinking about pairing up these pics as natural “bookends”, I noticed that apart from the lick/kiss difference up top, they were so close to identical, with just a small lateral shift in perspective, that they almost make an stereoscopic pair - that is, a “3D” stereogram. So I scaled and cropped them carefully to optimize that effect, and sure enough, it works … sorta. (Works better in hi-res.)
How?
1) On your computer, scale and position the photo to fill your screen as much as possible without clipping. 2) Position your head about 20” or so from the screen, dead center on the photo. 3) Cross your eyes slightly to bring the two images together, overlapping exactly in the center; ignore the two side images and focus intently on the center overlapping image. (You may need to adjust the tilt of your head to get them to overlap exactly.) 4) Within the overlapped image, focus your attention on the lower part of the image more than the top – the top of the image has more differences and will not lock well; the lower part is nearly identical in the two images except for perspective, so the 3D effect will “pop” better. 5) Once you “get it” and lock in by focusing on the lower half of the overlapped image, you should feel some “relaxation” in your brain as your brain says, “oh, yeah, I get it”. Then, because most people have one eye more dominant than the other the upper part will probably appear to be either Nell licking or Nell kissing (not a blend of both), depending on which eye wins to finish off the synthetic perception your brain is creating. (For me, I see Nell licking – you may see Nell kissing.)
Cool, huh? I may need to try to do this on purpose sometime.
