Stunning and Unexpected Photography

   1. (Really) Stunning Pictures and Photos
     <http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/04/28/really-stunning-pictures-and-
        photos/>
   "50 brilliant photos and stunning pictures — some pictures tell stories,
    some are incredibly beautiful, some are funny and some are very sad."

   2. FILE Magazine - Unexpected Photography
     <http://filemagazine.com/>
   "The purpose of FILE is to collect and display photographs that treat
    subjects in unexpected ways. Alternate takes, odd angles, uncon-
    ventional observations - these are some of the ways photographs
    collected in FILE reinterpret traditional genres."

   Some examples:

   (This next one is from a few years ago, but it fits the theme.  It could
    be a metaphor for the Microsoft-Yahoo take over if that went ahead ;)

   4. Photo in the News: Python Bursts After Eating Gator (Update)
     <http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/10/1006_051006_pythoneats
        gator.html>
   "Wildlife researchers with the South Florida Natural Resources Center
    found the dead, headless python in October 2005 after it apparently
    tried to digest a 6-foot-long (2-meter-long) American alligator."
