    I spy two birdees…like the one all the way on the right of the sample photo.

    The two people with the eye patches standing next to each other are kind of creepy.

    Brilliant piece yet seems a little too staged…

    WOW. What an amazing collection of faces. Bad Haircut Guy eyeballing the kissing couple made my day!

    Can’t help but notice that the one clip you used out of the whole 100 meter long photo happened to feature the girl with by far the biggest boobs.

    Of course… I would notice that.

    Looks more like 100 meters of the photog’s freaky friends.

    The guy with the red tank top and fanny pack on his chest is a dreamboat.

    This is Berlin? Wut? Wow those are some weird styles! Indeed, what is with the fanny pack on the chest and those strange hair cuts?

    The googly-eyed gypsy is cool.

    Looks like 100 meters of photo shopping. The whole thing screams Photoshop and Staged. Nothing natural about it at all.

    100 meters of Photoshopping? What does that even mean? It was stitched together from multiple photos taken over several days, if that’s what you’re inferring, but that information has already been given.

    And I fail to see how this was staged. Just a patient photographer selecting the best of the subjects he shot over three weeks. Ever people-watch? People are indeed this fascinating if you take a few minutes to look at them.

    All the contentious naysayers who insist that everything’s fake are really starting to turn me off to the Internet.

    that was pretty cool
    now I’d like to see a 6371000 meter long photo so I could scroll around the world

    I love this! I wanted it to go on forever. It’s completely fascinating, but why the title, “We’re All Gonna Die”?

    PS Love the the guy with the suit who’s between Dora the Explorer, the chihuahua, and the guy in the vest.

    PPS AND the guy in the blue plaid shirt who seems to be measuring…nothing?

    Ummmmmm, photographs are only two dimensional. Height and width. The is no “long” in a photograph. There is no depth in a normal photograph. Now the picture could be 100 Meters wide by doing what Wes said.

    @Wes
    I was only meaning that it does not seem real. The photos could be taken a completely different locations. There is no background at all. The whole thing just screams staged for me even though it may not.

    I agree with the boob comment. Nobody else had knockers like that in that 100 metre.

    I love the guy flipping off the camera just past the pink tank girl. I’d file that under “things I wish I hadn’t done now that the whole world can see”.

    Its a surprisingly long list personally…

    The girl with the great rack was all you had to show.

    The girl with the big rack is one of the least attractive in the photo.

    The most attractive in the photo is the girl walking next to the guy in the teal and brown plaid shirt measuring his manhood.

    The second most attractive in the photo would go to the girl fixing her hair next to the guy fixing his pants away from the camera.
