    This is comedy, such a good concept.

  2. 24:08:10 Simeon:

    haha, really good work!

  3. 24:08:10 Spoony:

    The hand on #3, and the fist on #4…the faces of the people on all of them. amazing pictures!

  4. 24:08:10 Bolla:

    This is classic. Sick skirt third photo down &all photos look natural.

  5. 24:08:10 Shea Kennedy:

    You can just see the tension in each persons face, very funny. Great Concept.

  6. 24:08:10 Vanessa:

    Lovely!
    Awkward… but intimate at the same time…

  7. 24:08:10 antwan:

    third one is great, but the first one is most definitely my favorite.

  8. 24:08:10 Jules Andre-Brown:

    The first one and the last two are my faves!
    Soooo rad!

  9. 24:08:10 Janette:

    I agree with Shea, it just shows how much we are afraid of unknown people or people who we know but we do not love… I loved this!

  10. 24:08:10 Mark:

    I love it. Such a fantastic concept.

  11. 24:08:10 vince:

  12. 24:08:10 Emily Gage:

    I love how in the last photo, the two people are in total contrast

  13. 24:08:10 Rot-eye the magnificient:

    sucha good idea, its weird how comfortable some of the strangers look posing with each other.

  14. 24:08:10 Alice:

    Loooooove this!

  15. 24:08:10 Doris:

    Awesome proyect, the third photograph speak for it self!Work with a lot of meaning..

  16. 24:08:10 Lenny:

    Wow. Now that’s inspirational. Weirdly, the ones where there’s an arm flung around the back but without the hand touching the shoulder are the ones I feel most awkward looking at, but at the same time the ones that make me look and laugh.

    the tasks were for amateurs though. these photographs are beautiful!

  18. 25:08:10 gez:

    i would love to touch the photographer

  19. 26:08:10 misslieze:

    Is it just me, or do most of these people just look hella awkward. :) I do like the picture at the top, because they look the least akward.

  20. 26:08:10 lapetitefaon:

    wow! I just love it! And I like the awkwardness, its really honest. Refreshing.

  21. 27:08:10 Sherri:

    VERY interesting experiment. Love the pictures. You can see how some people are fairly comfortable around strangers and others are completely tensed up.

  22. 29:08:10 bora:

    love it, so meaningful, touch to other, touch to other’s mind for understanding to eachother, then we can be the one world…

  23. 21:10:10 JCD:

    Great concept! Very thought provoking work. Even the viewer feels a bit awkward at first, can’t wait to see what comes next.

  24. 10:03:11 Igor:

    this is genioust idea. respect!
