Katy Perry originally started out as a Christian rock/gospel singer, with her first album entitled Katy Hudson (her real name) being a Christian record. Seven years later, she revamped herself as Katy Perry and with edgier songs like “I Kissed a Girl”.

Dog Face Optical Illusion and a Little on Perfectly Timed Photos

3f03f44643808f0aa0a5ca1ac8c3ea8f_Right-Angle-08

Perfectly timed photographs can be a hoot! In the past, we’ve shared some pretty cool perfectly timed photos as illusions, like the dog with antlers and the dog on a bus. I’ve also had people comment that these are not actually illusions. I disagree, though! If you look at the actual definition of optical illusion…

something that looks different from what it is; something that you seem to see but that is not really there

…I’d say that perfectly timed and posed photos count as optical illusions! They’re also a pretty fun distraction, and it’s not difficult to lose oodles of time just browsing through them. (Don’t believe me? Just click on the “Random Illusion” button at the top of this page!)

With that being said, today’s illusion is just that—a perfectly timed photo…

When I first looked at this photo, I swear I thought it was my brother! With long hair, which was kind of weird. But, it looks just like a certain face he makes from time to time. Upon closer inspection, though, I was able to see that not only was it not my brother (Phew!) but it was a woman. In addition, the extreme frowny face she’s making is not her actual mouth and nose (Double phew!), but the underside of the mouth of her dog. The color of the dog just happened to blend in well with her own skin tone, making for a pretty neat illusion!

Do you think perfectly timed photos and perfectly posed photos are actually illusions? Sound off in the comments below!
