Photographer Adam Fish has a talent for taking everyday life and transforming it into bizarre scenes that leave one scratching their head. One of his photographs depicts a young man -- too old for trick-or-treating -- wearing a dinosaur costume that is more than a few sizes too small for him. Another features a man with his head in a transparent glass jar staring helplessly at the viewer with literally bated breath. They are curious, to say the least.

The photographs capture people doing bizarre things and striking eccentric poses -- without overdoing it, of course. They retain just enough normalcy that the scenes depicted seem plausible. Many people have walked into a room to find something that they were tempted to photograph, but could not for the sake of propriety, sympathy or fear of reprisal.
