While unsuspecting citizens at a Stockholm bus stop in Sweden wait for their ride to arrive, they receive a fresh surprise as they see a photo of themselves appear on the advertisement billboard, and start being Photoshopped live. Adobe has organized this pop-up display as part of the promotion for Creative Days, a series of 14 events promoting "creativity and expressiveness" in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). As a secret van was parked across the street from a selected bus stop, computer equipment was set up along with a Photoshop artist and photographer. People were photographed without knowing, and suddenly realized that they were seeing themselves being displayed on the LCD screen at the bus stop. While sometimes solo shots were altered to add some humor, others involved two strangers who were able to share a laugh when they were placed into a movie poster together, or on a wedding cake.
