Surreal Imagery in the Bay Area

Author: Arnav Gupta

Together, we will be going through 3 different collections of photos that feel surreal. All photos were taken by me.

Number One: The Fountain

The grainy effect, extreme highlights, and pixel-like flow of the fountain water makes it feel as though we are transported into a video game. However, this scene was shot in my neighborhood park, and was in fact real.

Number Two: Underwater

This was taken on the train, but it looks like we are on an underwater submarine. The hazy blue and light shining through make this photo especially unique.

Number Three: The Handprint

Someone’s handprints were splattered all over the floor. One can only wonder how this occurred. Did they dip their hand in a puddle? Pour water over their hand? And why did they leave their print on this road? We will never know.
