It's depressing that the "Show me your Tits" shirt ever works.
Don't need a T shirt
just ask, you'd be pleasantly surprised.
Great stuff.
I love this project. Kudos to whomever is doing it.
Is it me?
or are most of these people wearing either red, black or purple clothing?
WOW! This is a total rip off
WOW! This is a total rip off of HONY: Humans of New York started by photographer Brandon Stanton, a big reason I didnt tackle a project like this, I have thought about it on more than one occasion but this is something that Brandon created and I didn't want to copy it! This photographer even tried copying the website!

Exactly
My thought as well. As soon as I clicked it I could help but laugh. Who knows though, maybe it'll be decent... Might have been better to collaborate with HONY rather than rebrand for Boston.
Um, no

HONY doesn't require a shed-load of off-site scripts
Dunno if this Boston site is a rip-off or not, but at least HONY doesn't require a shit-ton of off-site scripts to display a single photograph.
any shots in neighborhoods
nice pics - though it might be interesting to see some pics of Bostonians in neighborhoods other than Back Bay (newbury street etc) Harvard Square, and the South End. Maybe folks in Rozzie and Hyde Park aren't dressed as well or as hip but if you want a true representation of Boston, you need to go where long-term Bostonians actually live. - cool site just the same
