Coincidentally, I was just looking for this link. Thanks, delmoi! (If there's anything else you can preemptively anticipate, lay it on me!)

This MeFite loves it. It'a fantastic study of personality.

What point is it trying to make?

yah, not at all actually. a series of photos of commonplace individuals from a few diff countries in a sterile setting. next. i see more nationalities representing in a more artful way by taking the subway. i suppose i should take my camera with me next time.

go ahead and complain that she wasn't more specific in her criticism. do not tell her to leave. that's not quite your place. since the site is has some sort of pretense towards being art then it's perfectly acceptable to offer an immediate, instinctual reaction.

Who says teenagers are the only ones who dress alike? This was an eye-opener in terms of human behavior.

I don't know what it's intended point is but I come away from it thinking "Just because something is both euro and weird doesn't make it art". That and I'm just sick of the 'net's obsession with anything having to do with photographs.

You're kidding right? The planet is overrun and ruled by rabid conformists. Of course the gr'ups also dress alike.

Well, other than maybe the Harley riders, I haven't personally come across groups of adults like the ones pictured. But then, I don't live near a major city so consider me uninformed.

Tommasz, what about farmers (to cite a group that generally doesn't reside in or near major cities)? Don't they all wear coveralls and buzzcuts?

Hmmmm, I hadn't considered farmers. Unfortunately, most of the farms around here are gone, replaced by office parks and subdivisions, so you don't see them much unless you're willing to drive. In any case, I think I may have been incorrect calling this an eye-opener, I just didn't think enough before posting (I blame lack of coffee).

Farmers have long hair nowdays.

Ack! My eyes are bleeding! So...many...tiny...pictures!

Interesting, however.
