Do you ever wonder what people passing you by on the street are thinking?
Clearly street artists Katie Sokoler and Matt Adams do, given this recent project which saw them add some quirky ‘thought bubbles’ to the streets of Brooklyn, and then wait for the ideal moment to snap photos of people walking under them.
I’m betting that the elderly gentleman probably wasn’t thinking about bikini babes, but then again, you never know.
What would most likely be in your thought bubble if you were snapped during a sidewalk stroll?
