I think it does not matter if the woman in the picture is young or old. Maybe the artist is trying to tell, that early young adult women are not easy to detect ? like ages 18+ ?
The chin/jaw line of the young woman is the nose of the old woman, the ear is the eye, there is a horizontal line of the young woman's neck that is the mouth of the old woman.
That's pretty cool! I love pictures like that. My grandfather, who was a really good artist, liked to draw faces for me that would change into a different face if you turned it upside-down. Sadly, I only have one left and it's only a xerox.
My question is different: what kinda psycho abbreviates "id" as I.D.? And then followup, who collapses the period into it to make "I.D?"
Id is identification, that's one word. This isn't an acronym. So arguably if anything if would be abbreviated with an apostrophe or maaaybe a single period at the end. Anyway English is weird
abbreviation for identification: any official card or document with your name and photograph or other information on it that you use to prove who you are:
Do you have any ID? A driver's license or check card will do.
You pronounce the abbreviated form as "Eye Dee" so you abbreviate it as ID. No, it is not consistent with other instances of abbreviation in English, but half of English isn't consistent with the other half anyway.
Also, id is an actual word, so that could cause confusion. The earliest uses of the term 'ID' or 'I.D.' are also from the US military, which absolutely loves abbreviating things and making acronyms for the sake of brevity, even if the shortening doesn't follow the usual rules.
It's very subjective. My wife kinda hates it. She's a good looking woman, but she certainly doesn't look like she's 20. She often doesn't carry a wallet - so if she's ID'd it can actually be annoying.
I teach an underwater photography class at a university. We were going to have a night dive one evening and a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to cancel, so we decided to go to a local pub that has great food.
There's a bouncer at the door, and he's checking all my student's IDs super close. He's bending them, shining a light through them, etc making absolutely sure nobody underage gets through.
I walk up behind my students with my ID out and he just nods and says "you're good man."
My ID picture is still the same one I took in my early 20s (almost 40 now), and even when I do get carded, 75% of the time they make a comment about how my "picture is really old," "I look really young," etc, etc which is always a punch to the gut.
This helps but I still don't see it in the original image
I only see a young woman's head turned and looking at the window
Edit: squinting makes me see it, I guess my mind doesn't register the old woman until I see less detail but I still don't see it in the original image op posted
I don't think the original image in this post has enough detail to create the illusion
I can see it but it’s tough. Could only see it at first because I knew to look for something. It doesn’t help that the first thing you see is such a small pretty face, then when you have to look for the old woman you need to look for enormous somewhat grotesque features.
