We're not sure, outside of displaying one's artistic integrity, why someone would choose to make a 3D-styled basketball court featuring lumps and lamps and all sorts of weirdness, but we do appreciate the results.

Powerful waters surround Taya Voeller's North Dakota home, but inside it remains a dry oasis.
Photographer Natsumi Hayashi appears to be walking on air in her gravity-defying self-portraits.
The popular blog, ManBabies.com, birthed the idea in 2009, turning photo submissions into mind-bending comic relief. But Ripke, an artist and commercial photographer, gave the concept a professional makeover (and added a few moms in the mix).
