John Mitchell Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Alamy says that "everyday surrealism" is a growing trend -- not surprising given how surreal the world is these days. Does anyone have any images that they think would fit this category? Here's one of mine that I thought might qualify (not Photoshopped): Bird's shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Alan, yours reminded me of this one. Not sure how surreal mine is, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brooks Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Here is one of mine. I walk past this spot about once a week so the fairy door is everyday surrealism for me. Usually the door is closed. One day I managed to photograph one of the little people peeking out, but the camera immediately formatted the entire chip all on it's own.

AlbertSnapper Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 A great subject. Alan's photograph had me fooled at first. Think mine fits the category. I like the way the girl is looking straight at me. Sforza Castle provides a backdrop amongst a field of corn, an exhibit at Expo Gate, part of Expo Milano 2015.

The pigeon's shadow appeared in the frame just as I was about to press the shutter. A surreal moment, I guess you might say. I think that Bill's fairy door is very clever. Too bad he's starting to see little people, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never, to my knowledge, seen the little people. But I have seen people from the future when walking around Cambridge, UK. Easy to recognise as they are dressed all in pink. Took photos of them when I see them but the images seem to disappear from the card, or are never seen in the first instance by the sensor.

wiskerke Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Japan There's a saying about Rotterdam that there they sell the shirts with the sleeves already rolled up. It's about the eternal rivalry between Rotterdam and Amsterdam in Holland. Is there an equivalent in English? The saying I mean not the rivalry ;-) wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
