Y'ever had one of those experiences where you look at an everyday object, something you've looked at thousands of times, only this time you see it in a different way as something other than what it actually is?
I had such an experience yesterday when I was out in the garage taking a smoke break and was looking at an old tennis shoe. At the angle I was looking at it, it looked like a clown yawning. So I grabbed my old Nikon 990 Coolpix and took a quickie shot of it, using a rung on a ladder as a tripod (didn't have an actual tripod that would get the camera up to my eye level).
Most everyone who saw it recognized what I saw almost immediately. However my sister just sat staring at it saying "What? I don't get it. What is it?"
So for her I decided to do a little PhotoShopping (or Paint Shop Proing in this case) to make it a little more obvious for her, as well as to remove the background.
The clown's "mouth" looked like it could be either a yawn, or a scream of horror. So I chose the latter for the version for my sister. And instead of calling it "Rise 'N' Shine" as I'd titled the original, I titled this one "Horrified Clown."
Edit: And for reference, this is the original "yawning clown" (save for the background removal):
No haha, you just have to take two photos, with ones slightly to the left and one slightly to the right, put them together in photoshop and cross your eyes.
