'Tales From the Factory' by Dominik Smialowski and Marcin Szpak is the latest shoot from one of my favorite photographers. They've reprised a theme from an earlier shoot by using a baby carriage and bell-shaped avant-garde fashion to invoke a sense of wonder, surrealism and intrigue. (And lest we forget the super-sized egg nesting comfortably in the carriage.)
