20+ Of The Most Interesting T-Shirt Messages That I’ve Documented During My 10 Years Of Travels
I’m a freelance photographer and for over ten years, I have been traveling around the world with my camera. On the road, I randomly met so many people with words or messages on their clothes. They made me smile, they made me dream.
Here is a collection of pictures that I randomly took around the world, of people and their words, embroidered or printed to convey messages, affirm one’s identity or desire to be. Enjoy!

Cool, cool. But this has clearly been written on the photograph, not actually on the shirt.

ABSOLUTELY NO PHOTOSHOP on this t-shirt! – The only « photoshop » is that I adjusted the brightness, contrasts and saturation, from the original version. But the words on the t shirts are 100% original. Check closer here ! Cheers! 4L4A3862c-...e8aec2.jpg

Some people have to sell their pages because they can't afford the book.

The text doesn't fit the folds of the t-shirt - clearly a great quote with photoshop.

His shirt didn't say "we'll all be happy" in Arabic--it said "Islam will be victorious". What do think that is supposed to mean? ANYONE saying they will be "victorious" means (to me) that any and all others will have to fall. That's messed up regardless of who you are or where you're from...

Some countries in East Africa have been trying to limit or stop the import of old clothing from places like the United States because it makes it hard for their local clothing industry to develop. I'm guessing that's where most of the pictured clothing came from.
Tim Douglass 6 years ago
It's one of those difficult issues, because the virtually free clothing tends to kill the local industry but it also puts clothes on people who could never afford to buy what was being made locally. You might end up with a better clothing industry but more people in poverty because of the cost of clothing. There are few easy solutions and most obvious problems or solutions have nuances that only come to light through time or careful thought. No one ever expected that sending wasted materials from developed countries would hurt the local economies when they started doing it, they just saw it as a way to get a tax write off and help some poor people. What's the saying... "No good deed goes unpunished?"
