It's depressing that the "Show me your Tits" shirt ever works.

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!

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.

Then I suppose the Boston Herald is just a massive rip-off of the New York Post, huh? How dare the Herald post tabloid trash about Bostonians when the Post has been doing it about New Yorkers for far longer! An outrage!

That was my first thought too when I clicked on it, but the funny thing about art projects is that if they really keep at it it will eventually take on its own personality. I'll check back in a few months and see.

Look closer before being a cynic, darling.

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.

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
