Bizarre, unsettling and hilarious: Erik Kessels on the world's weirdest photo albums

It's one of the strangest photo albums you'll ever see. Open up the book Me TV and inside you'll find a series of eight identically staged photos, all featuring one Chinese woman proudly posed beside a TV set in different outfits. That book is just one of Dutch publisher Erik Kessels' many bizarre works based on "found photography" -- printed images of unknown origin.

He finds some of his photos by searching thrift shops for abandoned family albums.

"Most family albums, they don't really tell a story, or they tell always the same story," Erik Kessels tells Carol from Amsterdam. "Every now and then you find something very interesting."

For instance, in Volume 9 - How Not To Photograph Your Black Dog, Kessels features a comical set of endless photos featuring a family's black dog, who, due to lighting or their black furniture, disappears into backgrounds like a phantom.

"An amateur [photographer] generally dares to make more mistakes," Mr. Kessels says of How Not To Photograph Your Black Dog. "In this case it was really a lot of mistakes."
