Japanese dads jumping next to daughters is the latest photo trend

If you thought selfies were the ultimate photo clicking trend, consider this — jumping dads next to their daughters. Most of us are embarresed to click family pictures, but this new trend will make you shun those feelings.

According to the Independent, Artist Yuki Aoyama has celebrated this in a set of photographic portraits, which see girls standing expressionless as their fathers jump and generally act like goofs beside them.

The series is called Sorariman, a play on the words sora (sky) and salary man. The dads look wonderfully youthful and carefree, acting out like toddlers and skewing the generation difference implied by the chronology of the subjects.
