Alamy now has over 74 million stock images on sale and we pretty much have an image of everything you can think of… plus quite a few images you’d probably never think of.
I’m not sure what it is but these types of images honestly tend to find me, rather than me seek them out, maybe I’m magnetic to the weird and bizarre, or maybe I just have a natural eye for them.
Some are interesting slants on the concept of concepts, some are just everyday scenes from times gone by and parts of the world that don’t really reach mainstream, some are curious abstracts and some are just plain baffling. In some cases the captions help explain the image in a bit more detail, but with others… it just adds more questions.
Whatever the motivation, inspiration or creativity behind them.. here’s 27 stock images that will make you ask WTF?
