Group Portraits!

I ended up doing the free piggy back rides on Rodeo Drive, the project that got the most votes from The Human Video Game Experiment (HVGE) post. It was fun and terribly exhausting. No pictures or videos yet; soon though.

This project you see here is an alteration of one of the HVGE projects listed, group portraits in public places. Originally, I was going to just stick to subway cars, and simply organize everyone on the car into a group portrait. It was too limiting though, so I took it elsewhere.

Please, please. You have to try this. Go into a place, an elevator, a library, a bar, a hot dog stand, a clothing store, your bank, wherever, and organize as many people there as you can into a group portrait. Cheese – and take the picture!!! If you can get everyone there in the picture, I’ll send you a snickers bar. Got it? Most of these people are strangers and you’ll have to do a little convincing.

Oh yeah, you can pose in the photos if you like. Usually there is someone there who is shy, but doesn’t mind taking the picture for you.

Please send your group portrait photos to me, no cheating (not just you and your friends), at – marc at ineedtostopsoon dot com. Let me know where you took it and in what city and state.

Thanks and I can’t wait to see these. I’d like to put all of these in a zine. It’d be special.

p.s. I’ll post some more HVGE projects to vote on soon. I like that project.

Dude, glad to see the Group portraits. I still think subway cars or buses would be great!
