A Plea for Help!

Help make this site more interesting. I know there are more huge beings out there, and I'll bet some of you have seen them. E-mail me and tell me where they are, or better yet, send a photograph. 

A few Huge Being parameters: 

  • Must be larger-than-life.
  • Must be three-dimensional, rather than flat.
  • Human figures preferred, although anthropomorphic representations of animals or inanimate objects are okay.
  • Huge parts (hands, feet, ears, etc.) are good.
  • The emphasis here is on the whimsical, rather than the serious.

If you want me to include your being on the list, please provide the following with your email:

  • Include the exact address of the huge being. (This will help other Huge Being fans find it!)
  • Only send photos that you have taken (ethically I have a problem with steeling other people's photos)
  • Include your name and home town with your photo so you get photo credit.
  • If the being has a plaque or sign, send along the information on the plaque.
  • Send any other useful information that ou have that may be interesting to list with the photo.

Thanks for your help!!!
