TWISTED
What’s weird about this
Twister mat—besides the
fact that animals are on it?
“The scale is entirely wrong,”
Lund says. “A real Twister
mat is human-size. The
animals would have to be
gigantic to play.”

KITCHEN

SINK

Remy the cat was dry

when his photo was

taken. “We photo-

graphed the sink, the

brush, and the duck

separately with suds

around them,” says

Lund, who then digi-

tally combined all the

elements.

DINO DIG

No hidden fossil here! In a six-foot-

long box, the dinosaur model was

placed flat on the dirt and then photo-

graphed from above. The fence is a

miniature model made of popsicle

sticks. All that—plus the grass and the

guy—were put together by Vedros on

the computer.
