A photographer collects money on Kickstarter to visit all his “friends” on Facebook

(one / one of the friends is already waiting for a photographer to visit)

It has been said many times that social networks and the Internet generally bring together all kinds of people. They are so different that they would never meet in real life if they were not in it, in this life, in the Global Network. Nevertheless, social networks somewhat impersonate people, we see their faces, posts, likes, but we don’t know exactly what the “friend” from Facebook | Vkontakte is like. Photographer Ty Morin from Connecticut decided to visit each of his 788 friends to get to know everyone better, plus create a photo album / video library. It is clear that a lot of money will be required for this, and the photographer plans to collect these funds (and has already collected more than planned) on Kickstarter .

To start, he had already visited several people (and, apparently, he liked the girl most with a ... blowtorch?), Which is what the Kickstarter video clip tells. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to watch the video on Habré, so for those who are interested, I suggest viewing it on Kickstarter itself, on the project page .

(another friend, in case a girl with a blowtorch fails :))

Actually, this is not the first such attempt. In 2011, a woman suffering from agoraphobia decided to overcome the disease by visiting 325 of her “friends” from 13 countries of the world. The woman, as far as can be judged, managed to get rid of the disease, and to visit friends, everyone who was planned.

The current initiator of bringing the virtual to the real is not treated for any diseases. It’s just that a person wanted, first, to find out what his “friends” from the social network live and breathe (figuratively speaking). Secondly, all the travel materials after the appropriate artistic processing photographer will show the world.

It is worth noting that the photographer planned to collect only 5 thousand dollars, and already collected 13453 dollars from 249 "contributors".
