Katie Sokoler and Matt Adams decorated the streets of Brooklyn with some awesome “thought bubbles” and then waited for the perfect moment to capture photos of people walking under them.

  3. 3 Easily Annoyed

    Great images, although I think that first comment is totally photoshopped, the wording is all wrong

    They are not photoshopped. Matt and Katie are personal friends of mine. People just love to cry “fake!”

    Defiantly fake.
    How can you possible see what people are thinking?

    It’s not photoshopped, in the last one you can see where they taped it.

    (the first comment is an xkcd reference (I assume))

    I love it. It allows you to imagine all kinds of stories to go along with the walkers. I even see a glint of excitement in the bikini babe thinker’s eye.

    They’re not photoshopped, the first pic is around the corner from my apartment. I saw the bubble when it was there.

    You guys are all way too gullible. You were trolled… No one actually thinks they are photoshopped.
    Cute pics by the way.

    It is photoshopped. No man would wear white shoes with a black hat! That is nonsense.

    Nice timing. I would love to see that sort of positive graffiti’ing in my area. Keep it up.

    Not photo shopped.
    Look at the tape in the 3rd photo.
    You just stick tape behind the poster boards and it all works out.
    Who doesn’t wear white shoes and a black hat?

    Since when do pieces of paper taped to the wall have shadows?

    They probably just waited for someone to pass by and then took the picture.
    Nice work, keep it up!

    the combative language is all wrong
    i have lots of experience in identifying douches, having known a few myself

    love these pics! just curious how many passers-by looked directly at or even noticed the bubbles? in NY, my guess is not too many — there’s enough other crazy shit to NOT look at in that town!

    oh really? you think this is photoshopped? OBVIOUSLY you fucking idiots, if you believe that someone can see another person’s thoughts then you are dumber than the average American.

  25. 25 Moonpig

    This entire website is Photoshopped, as is the entire web.
