This first image is by Doug Dubois. I was immediately struck by the composition of this image. The movement from the blue object to the soap holder, down to the boy's head then up his hand and over to the flying dinosaur. Then I began to realize how mundane the subject matter was; it's just a boy playing in the bath tub! Dubois creates this beautiful image about something most people see daily and don't often appreciate.
This next image is by Larry Sultan. This scene looks like something out of a movie (in fact, I think this is on a movie). It's almost creepy, the large unidentified shadow creeping up on the woman in bed. But then you begin to focus on the quality of light shining across the couch and the scene becomes beautiful again.
This last image is by Todd Hido. Hido takes such an ordinary scene and makes it into this magical and creepy sifi image. Once you get past the oddly bright shining lights coming from the house and the blue snow you begin to realize that this is just someone's home, shot at night with a long exposure.
