If you haven’t seen Posing with Friends, you really are missing one of the most uproariously creative things on the internet right now. A project of a good friend’s little brother, the site posts photos of people posing similarly and in the same frame as other people who are also having their pictures taken by someone else. You follow?
I really thing this site has legs. Now anyone can upload a picture they’ve taken that fits the criteria. It’s comedy crowdsourcing. Here’s a pic I uploaded starring two friends from grad school posing in front of the White House. They’re the ones on the left.
To paraphrase John Keating, “Medicine, law, business, engineering — these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But taking pictures next to tourists taking pictures and posting them online? This is what we stay alive for.”
