Economic Downturn

August 27, 2009

FOUND by Steve in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I always check the balances on the discarded receipts I find when I get money out of the ATM, just to see how I match up. I was happy to discover that I was doing better than this guy.

Tea for Two

June 2, 2009

FOUND by Leigh Anthony Dehaney in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I found this in an abandoned house slated for demolition (#218, 25th Avenue SW, now demolished). There are about 20 of these and they all remind me of “photo assignments” from art college. Really interesting & conceptual images I think.

Could Yoo

May 28, 2009

FOUND by Brittney Nichole in Inglewood, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

During a period when my car was in the shop, I took the bus to my babysitting gigs in Inglewood for a week – a VERY long ride. One morning I arrived pretty early, and instead of showing up at the door and hanging around awkwardly, I decided to take a walk. I found this guy lying wet on the sidewalk a couple blocks away. It took a little effort to preserve it due to its wet, fragile state, but it was so worth it.

FOUND by Shawna in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This looks like quite an ambitious grocery list – cat food for ALL cats?? What’s a coffee markout?

Notice

September 17, 2007

FOUND by Jennifer Crighton in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This was posted around my neighborhood last fall. My question is, why go to all the trouble of printing and posting the notices and then say you are not going to do anything about it?

Adil’s Idea of Storytelling

July 16, 2007

FOUND by Coline Bettson in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I used this quote in an ESL presentation about children’s writing. I’ve saved it since 1996.

When You Ask a Person About Mozart

FOUND by Kevin Carvey in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I found this note on the streets of downtown Calgary a couple of years back.

Flip Master

June 19, 2005

FOUND by Michael Daines in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This photo was found in the kitchen of a community hall where a punk rock show was being held. It depicts a common Calgary tradition: a “stampede breakfast,” where free pancakes and sausage are served. Of note is the fact that the pancake is in mid-flip, and the flipper of the pancake is making direct eye contact with the camera.
