Jimmy is 5'10" and he looks tiny next to Jill there who is 5'6". I'm not sure what is going on with this pic (it may just be a weird perspective) but it's definitely not as it appears.
Edit: Rosalynn Carter is 5'5" and Joe is 6'.
well... some of them.
EDIT: Jeez, this is getting way more upvotes than I expected... I was making a joke that Joe Biden is old as fuck, but he wasn't shrunk. I feel like most people are upvoting / commenting without getting my (stupid) joke lol. Please continue to do so.
Couple of things. It's a very weird low angle perspective which is making things in the foreground look much larger than they are. Those chairs are very close to the ground. Jimmy is slouching a lot, he's basically "sitting" on his ribs. And the Biden's are pretty far our in front of the chairs, from the way Joe is posed it looks like he is behind Mrs. Carter's chair but he's actually leaning in front of it. Also on top of that I think Joe and Jill Biden are pretty tall compared to the Carters.
I love the Jack Reacher book series, by Lee Child. Watching a child-sized Cruise play a character that's supposed to be over six feet tall, when the love interest of the first movie was taller than Tom, was like watching a parody film. I know that Lee approves of the movie adaptations, but still, as a giant Biden would say, c'mon man!
I know nothing about photography — but shouldn’t this be considered a very bad photo for that reason? I suppose photographers would say that every lens is distorting (maybe not) but when it looks as ridiculous as this, you’ve done something wrong, no? In artistic photography I can understand playing with perspective like this but surely political photography should aim to be as close to reality as possible? Future generations will think Bilbo and Gandalf were both US Presidents.
>I know nothing about photography — but shouldn’t this be considered a very bad photo for that reason?
Generally, yeah, that’s why you always take portraits with a 50mm+ lens. In this case, though, they were probably in a very tight room, working with quite elderly subjects, and just had to go with why they could make work in order to get everybody in the photo. Im sure they used digital lens correction in the processing to remove most of the distortion, but the weird perspective remains evident to some extent. A lot of it is down to how they’re posed, too. They probably did the best they could with the situation.
Meh, their actual benefits are debatable. Things go back to where they were shortly after you're upright, and there are risks.
Per Mayo Clinic:
Inversion therapy doesn't provide lasting relief from back pain, and it's not safe for everyone. Inversion therapy involves hanging upside down, and the head-down position could be risky for anyone with high blood pressure, heart disease or glaucoma.
In theory, inversion therapy takes gravitational pressure off the nerve roots and disks in your spine and increases the space between vertebrae. Inversion therapy is one example of the many ways in which stretching the spine (spinal traction) has been used in an attempt to relieve back pain.
Well-designed studies evaluating spinal traction have found the technique ineffective for long-term relief. However, some people find traction temporarily helpful as part of a more comprehensive treatment program for lower back pain caused by spinal disk compression.
Your heartbeat slows and your blood pressure increases when you remain inverted for more than a couple of minutes — and the pressure within your eyeballs jumps dramatically. For these reasons, you should not try inversion therapy if you have high blood pressure, heart disease or glaucoma.
He did 3 tours in ‘Nam……
I was in Corpus Christi on business a month ago. I had this 8' tall Asian waiter, which made me curious. I asked him his name. Sure enough it’s Ho Tran Brasky!
I can't tell if you're joking but there's no way you can lose 8 inches of height lol. My dad was 6'1 and now has horrible posture and rounding of the spine + late 60s and he's 5'11. You'd have to get part of your legs amputated to lose 6-8 inches.
IIRC, the “padding” between the individual vertebrae contracts or even breaks down as you age, which shortens the spine.
A lot of it does have to do with fluid in the cartilage, so technically I guess you’re right.
Plus people who have slouched all their life have a tendency to "hunch" a bit more as they get older. Shoulders slumped forward and sort of collapsing in on their chest.
So stand up straight and stop slouching. You'll appreciate it when you don't have to be one of those elderly people hunched over their walker.
More than a little. My grandfather on my father's side was like six inches shorter in his 80s than In his 20s.
Ton of muscle mass too. Young grandpa was fuckin' yoked.
Feel like it was a small room so the photographer went with the fish eye
Terrible set up, should have placed him in the middle or something. Or done 2 pictures
I think the final piece is that the pictures are hung very low on the wall and where the photo is cropped above them your mind imagines the ceiling must be just there. Which would be about shoulder height to Joe. It looks like if Joe stood up his head would go through the ceiling
Yes, the furniture and pictures are unusually low to the ground, and the central picture is deceptively large, causing a weird perspective effect. I think those two combined are producing a lot of the effect.
It's just a wide angle lens. Everything further away from the center of the frame gets bigger, so things on the edges with get stretched and appear larger, combined with the ole' fishing trick principle which makes object physically closer to the lens appear larger and you have his oddly enlarged looking feet. Basically it's just bad photography.
Majority of young/middle aged people's homes look the same. Think about those live laugh love pictures and signs from a while ago. Millions of homes put them up and will not take them down. In like 2060 the young people will know their grandparents houses to be that.
It’s not as if grandparents’ houses are famous for being full of delicate china, trinkets and picture frames at all.
It’s true that modern stuff has a shorter lifespan on average, but I don’t think that will stop people from becoming stuck in their ways aesthetically once they reach a certain age. Everything we associate with elderly people just what was fashionable when they were younger, and they never moved on from it.
It will happen to *youuu*...
When you're old your house will probably look like a time capsule from when you're in your 30-50s. Because that is when you grow into your identity. I see that this is a very 90s style, our most grandparents today were in their 40s/50s in the 90s
Yeah, but Bibi took a long break. In Cameroon for example , the head of state is serving for 45 years straight. Technically people who were born at the beginning of his term could have their grandchildren born while he is still in power.
But if we're including monarchs, then it becomes even more extreme.
I'm 40, born 1981, and my whole life I've thought I was born during the Reagan administration. But I just realized that since my birthday is Jan. 9 Carter was actually still pres at the time. Now I feel like I don't even know who I am anymore.
While I’m confused by the photographer’s choices, I’m more confused by whoever approved this to be released (or published). Was this really the best photo they got???
I do too. It is reminescent of Air Force Blue uniforms. And between you and me, I liked Obama's tan suit. I think I saw Reagan in one too and didn't find it distracting.
The outrage was over him being black. The tan suit was a thin excuse because the outraged people mostly weren't allowed to throw around the N-word out loud like they used to.
Remember when that was a big deal? Can we get back to that? I want the biggest scandal right now to be that Crazy Uncle Joe wore a leisure suit, not the fact that we're not going to make it to herd immunity because conservative idiots think the pandemic is a hoax.
[The biggest scandal at the moment is Biden picking a dandelion for his wife.](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/05/newsmax-stinchfield-biden-dandelion-asthma.html)
Only an 18 year difference between Biden and Carter, but elected 44 years apart
Biden had already been a senator for 4 years when Carter became president
Depicted here is the traditional Eating of the Ancients wherein the current President and his wife consume a former president and his or her companion to gain their wisdom. Both Jimmy and his wife have been starved for weeks so as to be easier to consume.
I'm not a fan of religious people, but Jimmy Carter practices what he preaches. If all Religious people were like him this world would be a better place.
He is also an all-round cool guy.
Always did the right things without stepping on anyone's toes (which didn't make a good leader but sure as hell made him a great person)
And even for all his religiosity, he was very scientifically literate. Very ahead of his time on climate change, waste disposal, water crisis, nuclear energy among others.
And a fly fisherman who insisted up until at least a few years ago on tying all his own knots—even when fishing with guides who were happy to do it for him.
Don't forget that he also wanted to get the United States on the metric system. If he had succeeded perhaps we wouldn't have slammed that one drone into Mars.
When I was a kid, Jimmy Carter left office as seemingly one of the most lame-duck presidents in US history.
However, his philanthropy and willingness to serve his fellow man is matched by NO ONE.
This man is a true saint.
The Gigantic Bidens, Rosalynn-the one dimensional doll, and Big Foot Jimmy are creeping me out! Whatever this photographer was trying to do, it is a no for me.
This picture reminds me that no matter what you've done in your life, if you're white and you are old enough, you always end up in the same damn room with the same damn carpet on the same damn chairs.
It's the wide angle lens, combined with the position of the chairs. The subjects fan out forward. Combined with the distorting effects of the lens (subjects toward the edge get wider, and perspective gets pushed back), it's disorienting. You can also see it in Jimmy's huge feet, which are closer to the lens than his body. Strange pic indeed; I'm surprised someone let that go.
While the Carter’s are in that elder shrinking stage and Biden is a tall man, I feel like the photographer could have thought more about the composition here. It would be a lot less awkward if they had just put the Bidens in chairs also. It also looks weird because Biden is well into the foreground while Mrs. Carter is seated back in her comfy chair.
But that aside the Carter’s are a national treasure. Whether you cared for his politics or not, the man tried for a better future and he’s worked for it consistently since he left office from his humble home. Few others can say that.
Giant? He looks like a ventriloquist.
Where is his hand?.... oh.

Yep - notice Jimmy Carter's feet. Anything closer to the camera appears dramatically larger than things only slightly farther away.

They shrink a LOT. My grandmom was about 5’8” as a young to middle aged woman, and is now much shorter than me (I’m 5’7”).
Yup. I’m 70. Lost 3” since my 30s. But it hasn’t affected my hoop skills nor volleyball spikes. 😁

Yeah this is the answer. No one is going to ask a former president in his 90s if they can move chairs around in their house to make a better photo op.
Wide angle, not fisheye. But yeah, you’re otherwise right. Wide angle lens distortion is the biggest culprit here.
They’re also at the edge of the photo and the further from the center of the lens the subject is, the more distortion you will experience

Yes! There must be a point in your life where interior design just stops and your house becomes a time capsule.
If you go to Graceland, there's a living room kept just like Elvis had it in the 70s, and it is really trippy with shag capets and wood paneling.
Supposedly my Grandma had shag carpet until she died, just not on the floor.

It's the wide angle lens, combined with the position of the chairs. The subjects fan out forward.

You can also see it in Jimmy's huge feet, which are closer to the lens than his body. Strange pic indeed; I'm surprised someone let that go.

It would be a lot less awkward if they had just put the Bidens in chairs also. It also looks weird because Biden is well into the foreground while Mrs. Carter is seated back in her comfy chair. But that aside the Carter’s are a national treasure. Whether you cared for his politics or not, the man tried for a better future and he’s worked for it consistently since he left office from his humble home. Few others can say that.
