Growing Up or Just Getting Older?




Happy birthday to me!!! Yep, it's my 17th birthday on August 15th. Finally, with all laughs, tears, smiles, happiness, sadness, hurts, sweat, ups, downs, sweets, miseries and everything from the most emotional until the really-ordinary things in my life, I reach my age of 17! Whoa, kinda excited because it means I'm mature enough and, I got my identity card :D Well, I don't know exactly why everybody says 17th birthday is sweet because I think every birthday is sweet. Yep, every birthday is sweet because it shows us how God is still loving us by giving us life until today, and actually it's more like an alarm for us that we're getting older and older. But we're not only getting older but also outta grow up. I've ever seen a line "growing up or just getting older?" in my English course textbook and I felt like ah-yeah-it's-true. Yes, everybody outta grow up and not just getting older! And so, I declare this in my very deep heart:

I WILL GROW UP AND NOT JUST GETTING OLDER. I WILL REMOVE ALL MY BADNESS AND KEEP UP MY GOODNESS! I PROMISE TO FIND MYSELF STANDING UP CONFIDENTLY, REACHING ALL MY DREAMS

Forced Perspective Photography

I just found out about forced perspective technique in photography and damn I adore it! Well, I'm not a photographer but I'm interested in photography. I don't even have the camera. Poor me. Just ignore it-_-

By the way, forced perspective photography is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography, film making and architecture. 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. Maybe that's why it called 'forced'. Here are some examples of forced perspective photography which are from taken from here 
Enjoy!
