Exactitudes

[avram]

Via Boing Boing, a fascinating site (seems to be associated with a book) showing photos of groups of a dozen people each from various subcultures (most seem to be Dutch or Chinese), all in the same pose. See, for example, these Dutch “Teknohippy” women (geek girls, we’d call ’em), or this set of “Ghoullies” (Goths), or Brazilian Surfistas, or Beijing students.

The purpose of the book is supposedly to draw attention to the contradiction between individuality and uniformity that subculture dress codes entail, but I find it much more interesting as a source of photo reference for drawing.
