FOUND by Monica in Oxnard, California

Found on a residential street. At first I thought it was some kind of history exercise; then I realized that someone had saved her homework from 42 years ago. And, worse yet, lost it.

Shopping and Guys

July 30, 2007

FOUND by Arianna Meyer in Kansas

I found this when I was moving into my new house. Someone who lived there before probably had kids who played school. Obviously this essay received an A+.

At the Table

July 29, 2007

FOUND by Risto Aronen in Tampere, Finland

I found this torn half of a photo near to the rubbish bin just outside of a grocery shop, stuck on a fence boarding. It was so firmly placed there that I couldn’t remove it without ripping the corner of the photo off. The backside of the scrap says “photo taken 1967″ in Finnish.

Asleep at the Soundboard

July 28, 2007

FOUND by Laurel D. in Cambridge, Massachusettes

I found this photo lying in the grass on the campus of Harvard University. Looks like someone’s studio session was pretty boring.

A Day in the Life of Ryan

July 27, 2007

FOUND by Karrie Stewart in Meridian, Idaho

I found this Post-It over ten years ago in front of my daughter’s grade school. It’s like a note home from Flannery O’Connor. I’ve thought about Ryan a lot over the years. I hope he’s ok.

And You Said MY Grammar Was Bad

July 26, 2007

FOUND by Taylizardo

To the best of my knowledge, this is a letter written from a parent to a child. The irony of it all makes my head go silly inside.

No Room for Emos

July 25, 2007

FOUND by Natalie in New York City, New York

Written on the back of a school notice, and found in a desk during parent/teacher conferences.

Ancient VIVI Nashmare

July 24, 2007

FOUND by Terry in Springfield, Oregon

Found on the floor in hallway at school. Did the artist mean Ancient Vivid Nightmare? See how he erased “Nashmare”? Maybe thought he should check the spelling first.

Alyssa’s Journal

July 23, 2007

FOUND by Vanessa Burgett in Austin, Texas

While at a conference for work, a group of other attendees wanted to go to this thrift store. I was the only one to find something.

Altar Boy

July 22, 2007

FOUND by Dan Dove in Allegan, Michigan

I found this at the Allegan County Fair in an old paperback book on a free-book table. The name of the book was “By Secret Railway,” by Enid La Monte Meadowcroft.
