Peculiar Snapshots
Great for a moment of total absorption in something completely different: a series of vintage photos collected by Brit photographer Mark Wilkinson. It includes shots of intriguing compositions (what’s that hovering, a head?), ill-timed poses (why is that woman on a table?), and random bizarre effects.
