I once heard that photography is, among other things, about making extraordinary images out of ordinary subjects.

Long ago, an art teacher proposed as an exercise to find and depict the "extrañitud", the weirdness in common objects or situations. Since then, I've developed a habit of seeking out and capturing that weirdness in everyday scenes through my photographs.

This collection holds photos that convey such "Extrañitud". Curiously, some of them were quick snapshots taken with my phone instead of my DSLR camera. "Extrañitud" seems to flow more naturally that way.
