Puzzling Pioneer Pictures

Robert and Shana Parkeharrison Take Vintage and Surreal Images

The artistic duo Robert and Shana Parkeharrison sure know how to take photography into Daliesque territory. After all, these pictures are some of the most surreal images I've ever seen taken in that vintage monochromatic style.

The idiosyncratic photo collection features a man in a suit as he attempts various experiments using organic materials. What does that mean exactly? Well, for starters, the man straps on various flying apparatus made from wood as he stands on wooden stilts in a manner that looks like he's about to launch himself off. Then there's images of the same man trying to tie down a bushel of clouds from the sky. There's even an image of the man, with the assistance from a friend, pulling a field of grass over some barren land.

I don't think I'll ever figure out on my own how these extraordinary images were made.
