Funny you mention this, it sounds very much like the recommendations
given by J. Ferwerda in the "Stereo Bible".

I agree there is a strangeness to them, but I consider that part of the
"art". If I'm using the camera as a documentation device, then yes, I
wish to decrease the amount of discomfort and strangeness in my images.

But if I'm trying to capture a moment, or make you think, or generate an
opinion, I might try to generate an image that will disorient you a bit,
force you to think about it as more than a recording of an event and
evaluate it as something else.
