Photographer Anthony Goicolea takes a lot of photos. Of himself. Of many of himself. Doing awkward/mean/weird things. Check out his mission statement for his series “You and What Army” (from which the above “Classic Picture” is a part):
“Through digital manipulation, I am able to clone myself and create scenarios in which I act out childhood incidents such as fight scenes, first kisses, and deranged play dates. These works are simultaneously rooted in nostalgia and science fiction. Many of the sets are constructed to depict suburban environments in which the cast of characters are seen undertaking painfully awkward transformations as they undergo the journey from childhood to adulthood and the hazy boundaries inbetween.” -Anthony Goicolea


Now don’t you just a little bit want to take some pictures of yourself? (Or have a nightmare.)
