At first glance, I thought Sam Barsky might be some sort of weirdo who has a ridiculous passion or knitting. However, as I continued looking at Sam’s photos…I started realize that Sam is one bad-ass dude!
The 42-year-old artist claims he started the trend “unintentionally” but it’s now his claim to fame. Since 1999, Barsky has taken more than 100 photos of himself at landmarks around the world.
First off…the guy has a serious talent for knitting. Secondly, this guy travels all over the world, seeing and doing cool stuff…all the while, wearing a crazy ass sweater! He is pretty much my hero!
Check out his pics below! I guarantee this guy has a photo album at home cooler than all of us combined!
