A Real Little Scot

Wal-Mart used to have a little plastic box that said FOUND PHOTOS. We used to take the ones that looked interesting. Here is one of my favorites. The back reads “A Real Little Scot.”

The Collar

I was waiting for my sister, who was at the DMV. I took a walk down Main Street and on my way back I saw this photograph on the ground. It hadn’t been there 15 minutes earlier. On the back it is dated 1977. It sure looks it, too.

Fun Lunch!

In a box of discarded pictures from cleaning out the yearbook’s cabinets, this one jumped out at me as a favorite.

Juan

I found this on the floor of the F train heading to Brooklyn. This guy must be from the future or something.
