It seems to be a party photo like so many: A woman and a man pose. But do you immediately see the slanted detail?
Munich – It seems to be a good party. A young woman and a young man grin cheerfully at the camera, he has put his arm around her. In the other hand he holds a red mug, presumably with some kind of soft drink.
Of course, the outfit of the party visitor is an eye-catcher: He only wears a vest over his bare upper body. But it’s not his clothes that made the photo go viral. And for years it has secured a place in various “If you see it…” lists of pictures with quirky details.
Do you see it right away? It’s not quite as heavy as in other photos of this type – for example the one from the lecture hall and another from the beach. And this photo also drives a lot of people crazy: “I see it and I hate it!”
Party photo captures breakdown: visitor stumbles down the stairs
In the background on the right, another party visitor stumbles down the stairs. She still seems to want to hold on, but by then the accident is already in full swing. It’s not necessarily funny, she could have injured herself. But always crazy. If the photo is real and not edited, which of course is not guaranteed, then the photographer has captured exactly that unusual moment. And a party crash of a different kind. The picture has been circulating on the internet for years.
Many users see the glitch in the background immediately. But not all. “I’ve definitely spent too many seconds…” begins the post of an observer who actually expected something piggy and bluntly admits it.
Others are more specific about the outfits of the two people in the foreground. “Is this a Halloween party or a pack of hipsters? Can’t tell.” ( lin)
