Street Stun

What if you saw this one day?

Or this?






What if you were driving around in your car, just running errands and minding your own business, and every ordinary thing around you was suddenly unordinary? Let me elaborate. The streetlights are purple, orange, and blue. The trees are upside down. The cars are all driving sideways. 


What would you do? Completely freak out obviously. Because the fabrics of everything we know and are comfortable with would be destroyed and our world would fall to shambles. You might even suspect someone of putting LSD in your coffee that morning, because that is the only thing that might explain what the hell is going on.


I asked myself what I would do if all of the street signs around me said something different. I would completely panic. I think it would be really cool if everything that was "ordinary" was actually unordinary. 


The truth is, ordinary objects are as ordinary as you make them. It is the perception of the viewer that makes that decision. I have decided to look at everything around me in a different way, and it makes life much more unordinary, and that's the way I like it.
