Before color photos distracted us, black-and-white captured life exactly as it was: strange and completely unbothered. This was an era when cameras caught moments without explanation, context, or apology. Just a click and a lifelong question mark.
Here’s a girl casually riding a zebra like it’s Tuesday. A policeman staring at a weed plant with the shock of a man who just realized the rulebook forgot a chapter. A perfectly proper family posing with a monkey dressed better than most adults, looking smug and aware. This was normal. Apparently.
Click through slowly. Let the randomness speak. Because once upon a time, life made absolutely no sense… and nobody felt the need to explain it.
