As ridiculously out of place as it seems, this picture is actually confirmed by the American Museum of Natural History as being totally legit. In a world where every single photo of old-timey people is dour as hell, it makes sense to actually have fun with it. The saddest thing is that, with the photo being about 120 years old, we don't get to talk to this guy. For more interesting history stuff, here's a Tumblr Thread that makes history fun.

Snap a photo, make that online photography class worth something. These punny snaps will have you putting a filter on your latest masterpiece in no time.
Some of these are definitely ironic, but it's never the one's you want. You can never be too sure what old school fashion will stay fresh, but you can be pretty sure that thousand yard stares and painfully cheesy photo editing was never really that popular to begin with. These make us want to book our own photo shoot.
Before all the stylists, art direction and good lighting, a band is just a bunch of people who are trying to convince everyone that they're a band. Sometimes the pieces fit together, and sometimes they don't. This can lead to some incredibly weird and awkward album covers. Everyone has growing pains, and with that said, there's actually some legit bands in here.
There are so many photos taken daily that it's statistically certain that some of them are gonna come out a little goofy. Ah yes, there's nothing like the instant comedy of one thing looking like another thing, especially if it's particularly weird, unflattering or dirty. Here are some more perfectly timed photos and double-take inducing photos of intriguing perspective.
Photographers are sharing the weirdest photo shoot requests that they've received from Instagram influencers. Never underestimate the lengths that an influencer will go to ensure that their photo is ridiculous, unique, and well suited for viral status. Can't imagine being the one holding the camera in some of these situations.
Whose fault is this? The photographer? The models? The prop guy? We don't think these stock images really have any discernable use, but they still manage to exist anyway. If anyone needs a stock image for an angry doctors conference or a sexy pumpkin festival, we know where to send you. The world of stock images can be a weird one. Here are stories from people who found their stock photos being used in the strangest of places.
Okay, the eye-exploding was a hyperbole. But why would you want to look at these if you knew they would make your eyes literally explode? These pictures of skewed perspective will make your eyes do some acrobatics in order to understand what's actually going on. In case this isn't enough eye-confusing strangeness then here's some more.
The story goes like this: over 70 years ago a World War II soldier filled 31 rolls of film with pictures, and in 2014, The Rescued Film Project, recovered all 31 of those rolls. What follows, is a video showing what went into the development of these photos, and then as an audience, we even get to see some of them! Pretty neat.
Sophia Vogel is a German photographer who aims to reduce the shame and bashfulness we all feel when we are without our clothes.
"I want to point out that being naked should feel just as natural as being clothed," she said."If you think of it right, we are all naked underneath our clothes."
"The pressure of being a sexual being is omnipresent for every human being. We are observed and judged every day, and the fashion industry lavishes beauty ideals and criticism on us. We set high standards for ourselves. I want to speak up against these ridiculous standards."
"By presenting all kinds of different body shapes and natural postures I would love to show that everybody is beautiful in their own way. I love to present nudity in an aesthetic manner without any sexual context. Not every single nude photograph should be linked to sexuality."
