Martin Parr's photographs of bored couples need no explanation, and no introduction. Those eyes, those faces - and that very harsh lighting - speak for themselves.
The third one down is priceless. Visit Martin Parr's website, here. More at Magnum Photos.
Also, three more links, just because:
-The world's fluffiest bunny.
-An "oddly poetic" army literacy test.
-"Being ashamed of your past is absolutely insane." Agreed.
Have a wonderful weekend! What are your plans? I'm still recovering from last weekend's trip - looking forward to powering down for a quieter one this week!
O.M.G! how sad.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! The third one down is my favorite, too, ha! I also love that fluffiest bunny.

hahahahahahaha. this is just.so.great! and i want to attempt wrapping my arms around that fluffy bunny!
ReplyDeleteHaha, those sure are funny pictures! After almost 14 years of marriage, I wonder what Nick and I look like to others, when we're out and about. Often he walks ahead of me because it's easier to walk on the narrow sidewalks single file, and I imagine that must look like we're too bored of one another to bother walking together! Lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd how about that fluffy rabit?! Wow.
Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteNicole & Kathy, my roommate and I were just talking about how much we'd love to have him as a cushion in our living room.
ReplyDeleteLoulou, it's nice to know that it's possible these couples just APPEAR to be bored :)
I love that bunny. And I love that quote.
ReplyDeleteThe worlds fluffiest bunny is my fav!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how it can see anything!
that rabbit is the best thing ever.
ReplyDeletereally funny
ReplyDeletelol this is so great I always love people watching and couples are some of my favourite people :)
ReplyDeletelaughing out loud at these pictures & that bunny!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so great. You know what? I totally prefer seeing two people at a restaurant looking bored than two people at a restaurant on their separate "devices." And that bunny! Ahhhhh!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, hilarious! I bet taking the photos today would involve a lot of iphone usage. that's what i see couples doing rather than talk to each other.
ReplyDeleteLauren, I totally agree!
ReplyDeleteHa, great photos.
ReplyDeletelol.. how funny.
