How to become tall

My wife's height is only 4'11" and she wants to be taller, so she got creative by taking a photo of her shadow.


Happy shadow hunting everyone and have a blessed Sunday!

I think she has my 5'9" frame beat...though there are disadvantages to being tall...you always have to reach the stuff on the top shelf for all the shorties...have a wonderful week and congrats little one on the smile contest!!!

Great long shadows and lots of extra ones in the first photo!

Cathy said...

She is very tall now. Great shadow. You know I never think about taking pics of myself like this. I see them all the time and just have never done it.. I will try.

Hey Harriet said...

Well your wife certainly got her wish! I'm also a shorty so I like seeing myself in tall shadowy form. Great photos!

To stretch out your frame,
stand in the sun and let it
do its shadow-work!

Congratulations to your daughter on the smile contest
;-D

That shadow makes your wife look quite tall - about 7 feet or so!

I'm 5'8" so I can't commiserate with her about wanting to be taller.

Fun super-long shadow! Reminds me of how someone looks up on stilts, but she's even taller.

I think you are going to need elevator shoes to stand next to your wife, or a megaphone to talk to her! :) Rye thinks this height-reversal of her parents is funny, I think. Great shot!

Chris said...

wow, very creative!

I have a slew of these 'tall' shots of me too! It's funny to see oneself stretched out like that, isn't it?
A nice series of images and stories here. I enjoyed my stop!

Jen said...

LOL, yes it's nice to put on some height, even if it's only for a short while. ;)
Happy SSS to you.

Wow that's such a tall shadow! I have a family portrait of shadows, but we're only about half as tall as that!
