I liked that. Some people you could absolutely tell they were strangers. It looked so forced and awkward. Some it looked like they were friends or family.

What do you(personally) think it says about the individual if they looked forced or natural?

What an interesting experiment! I found I really liked the people who were smiling or looking positive-- seems like they were trying to make it work. Thanks for the link, Kiwi!

very cool.. I love how very different all of these people are.. sort of sharing a little bit of one world with another.

wow, thanks for sharing the link with us. i got to picture 35 and was disapointed! i could sit and look at those all day! what a fantastic concept and so well executed. just so interesting to see all the differnt expressions and the touching with that last bit of reserve, like the hand not totally grabbing the arm, hanging out in mid air, not quite sure what to do with it.
human behaviour- love it!

So interesting...many looked VERY uncomfortable while they ATTEMPTED to look laid back and comfortable (but FAILED!)

Those pictures make you feel like Paul Harvey...and want the "Rest of the Story". Especially the gal in the wedding dress holding a champagne bottle. She sure doesn't appear happy. Very interesting indeed.

personal space is a very interesting thing, i can definitely see why almost none of them were smiling :)
