Black and white street photography in NYC

Have you guys noticed them? They’re absolutely everywhere lately. Usually, they’re just standard letter-sized sheets, black and white, featuring these sort of distorted, blurry faces. I’ve spotted them stuck to floorboards in downtown Chicago, plastered all over dumpsters near Millennium Park, and I even saw a few on the walls near Union Station and along Michigan Avenue. Honestly, no matter where I turn—even out toward the suburbs or over by the highway—I keep running into them. There isn't any text on the papers or any context provided nearby; they just... exist. I actually tried to peel one off once, but I couldn't budge it; someone used some seriously heavy-duty industrial adhesive.

What on earth could these be??

I haven't seen it personally, but if I were a betting woman, I’d say there’s a direct line between this and either the upcoming elections or these ongoing protests 🥳

It doesn't really matter, though they have been sitting like that for months now

Depression. It’s everywhere, surrounding people. Or you just lose the ability to see color altogether.

That’s not really what I mean. They exist, they’re right there, but honestly, whenever I ask anyone about them, they seem completely clueless—it’s like most people barely even notice they're around. I can't help but wonder who is actually putting them up and what the logic is behind it all. I guess I'm just looking for some enlightenment on the matter!

Yeah, yeah, before 🙏 🙏 🙏

There's this picture of some guy wearing sunglasses, drawn like stencil graffiti or something, and he's always got "Edie" tagged right next to him 🙏

WHAT IS THIS, ACTUALLY????!!!1111one

As I was walking down that steep hill from the old downtown area toward the park district, I spotted them—several of them—perched right there on one of the streetlights. Right next to them, someone had even scrawled "YouTube -> David Icke." I really, truly don't want to believe that such an eerily subtle little propaganda campaign is actually an attempt to push something that feels so incredibly absurd.

I actually spotted that on the bulletin board over at the local Starbucks! Honestly, it even listed the last name... I remember telling myself I’d make a mental note to look them up online later. Well, turns out I'm about as reliable as a portable toilet in the middle of a hurricane.

So, a friend of mine just snapped this photo while she was walking down Broadway in New York City – http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/2673/slika029.jpg

WHAT EVEN IS THIS... seriously...??!!1111one

The little brat even has one over in Kansas City too...

I honestly don't get what all the fuss is about... You can find it everywhere from the West Side to downtown or out near the suburbs... The whole city loves it 😁

That guy's just a total loose cannon. They're all built that way.

The mystery has finally been solved!
