Journal chill's Journal: Forced Perspective 2

Forced perspective is a technique which employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator or camera.

Squid can range in length anywhere from 1 inch up to 80 feet. The Colossal Squid is the largest known variety, and thought to be the inspiration behind legendary monsters such as The Kraken of Greek mythology.

Calimari is the term for he culinary specimens of squid, and typically measure less than 12 inches. Squid lends itself to hot and fast cooking methods such as grilling, broiling, sauteing, and deep-frying. Or, by irritated judges when hack lawyers try and pass off itty-bitty lawsuits as "the Kraken" when they're really just suitable for calimari.
