Forced Perspective Photography

This is borrowed from the Web Design Ledger Blog. I thought this was pretty interesting and may help some people out by showing them that you don't always have t rely on Photoshop, but to rely more on their own creativeness. http://webdesignledger.com/inspiration/20-creative-examples-of-forced-perspective-photography
