What is it?
A photo service where you can shoot familiar people/strangers and post those photos up on a website to share with other strangers.

Who are familiar Strangers?
People who you see everyday while you take the subway or walk to school. But they are essentially strangers.

So how does it work?
You take a picture, tag it with the place you were in- the address. Send it to mobtree{att}recombine…net
The picture is logged and shows up as a new familiar stranger on the community page. Now other users can add any info about the person you just shot. Does this scare you?
See more about it in these images-

Why are you doing this?
Cause I don’t like familiar strangers who don’t talk to me? No. Is it urban voyeurism? Or is it about eventually getting to know strangers you see everyday? Eventually you wouldn’t need this app to mark your strangers.

Will there be a day when a familiar stranger who you shot becomes your friend?
Maybe.
