The Story Behind the "High Five" Couple of Wikipedia

In 2008 an avid contributor to Wikipedia uploaded a photoshoot illustrating a "high five." He enlisted a couple of friends to pose for the pictures, four of them, entitled Up High, Down Low, Victim Misses, and Too Slow (with finger-guns). The pictures are pretty funny, and the couple is just too cute. The set of pictures managed to capture the hearts of internet users. They've been used as memes for 14 years now.

Annie Rauwerda was taken with the joyous pictures, and wondered who these people were. What made them so happy when the pictures were taken? Why were the pictures taken? Were they a couple? Are they still together? What led to the high fives? Fourteen years later, she managed to track them both down to find the story behind the pictures. Read how Rauwerda found them and what has happened to the two people since the pictures were taken at Input magazine. -via Digg
