Are Bidens the giants? A photo of US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden with former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalynn Carter has left netizens scratching their heads.
Joe Biden met with the 39th President Jimmy Carter in their hometown of Plains, Georgia, on Thursday. A photo of the private meeting released by the Carter Center, a nonprofit started by the Carters with Emory University, on Monday has gone viral on social media. The photo shows the Carters sitting in sofas as the Bidens kneel next to them. What is making people roll their eyes is that the Bidens appear to be giants when compared to the carters.
The photo has gone viral on the microblogging platform, garnering more than 79,000 likes. Netizens were flooded the comments section with puzzled reactions.
One user asked, "Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a tiny doll museum, and Joe and Jill are giants?" Another wrote, "Absolutely transfixed and perplexed by this photo. how are the carters so tiny. why does the room look like a doll house. how is this real."
A third user said, "This photo is legitimate surrealism. It looks like the Carters are extremely small, but it almost seems the more pressing issue is that the Biden's are literally giants. Everything is small other than the Joe and Jill. Table. Lamp. Chairs. All regular size. Bidens: HUGE." Yet another added, "Yes the Carters have grown shorter as they’ve gotten older but I’m convinced this is also a lens issue."
The bizarre optical illusion in the viral picture was most likely caused b a wide-angle lens.
"On images shot with a wide-angle lens, perspective appears to be exaggerated: Nearby objects may look much bigger (and hence nearer) than they really are, and faraway objects look even smaller and further away," the website of camera company Canon said.
