While everyone on Facebook and LinkedIn is trying to put their best face forward, with posts all nice and round, another app is encouraging users to show off their best moments. BeReal signals the phone owner at random times that it’s time to post. If you take this seriously, you’ll have a collection of pictures that’s closer to reality in 1 year.
This gave Sándor Csortos Szabó the idea to take a picture of his surroundings with his camera rather than his phone for a year, at or near the times indicated. He started documenting in connection with his 62nd birthday, and his first picture was taken in his hometown of Karcag. Out of 366 photos (it was a leap year!), 31 were selected, and the author included a short description of the events of that day.
