I may not know much about art but I know the difference between abstraction and surrealism

Interesting discussion, with very blurry definitions provided by the work of the surrealists themselves. Hence why I entitled the thread 'Surrealist' rather than 'Surreal' photography. It's also interesting to look at the intersections between Surrealism and Dadaism, and even the borders with Futurism. It was a very fertile time.

Not sure these are actually surreal, and they have all been posted before. I will look out some more (better) later...

John - that last one is brilliant!

... it's the interweb I know, and I've long since given up expecting intellectual rigour ... but as yet not stopped mentioned the odd misconception

Interesting thread which I'm sure (or afraid?) will influence my photos in the next week trip! For the moment I would like to contribute with this "lucky accident".

Now, I'm waiting for the first Ray-o-Grams.
