FOUND by Paul Tardie in Tacoma, Washington

A co-workers boyfriend found a disposable camera; after getting the film developed he sent the photos to his girlfriend in a care package. She let me keep the negatives.

Winter Summertime

January 7, 2013

FOUND by Griet in New York City, New York

My first found picture– a brother and sister in a fake summer scenery. I think it’s lovely.

Smiling

Walking home from the Twin Shadow After Party, I found this on the street between two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Tricycle Bandit

December 25, 2012

FOUND by Gabrielle Calcaterra in Southwest Portland, Oregon

I found this in a mix of of old slides from a thrift store that I bought to test out a projector I found on the street earlier that week. Good news, the projector works like a charm.

To the Rescue

December 1, 2012

FOUND by Reese in downtown Roanoke, Virginia

I was walking with my boyfriend to an event on Thanksgiving Day and I found this picture face down on the sidewalk. The back says “James 11-21-2012.” I’m assuming it came from the Rescue Mission down the street.

Mama Said

November 30, 2012

FOUND by Jessica in Killeen, Texas

We were sitting down for dinner at a local Greek restaurant when my husband found this under the napkin dispenser on the dining table. We can’t help but try to imagine what would make a child write and hide this note. And mom is wrong– babies do indeed smile.

October Haul

November 21, 2012

FOUND by Becca in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

This was tucked away in an old photo album being sold at a Goodwill-type store in Sioux Falls. There were more pictures of these brothers (?) in their hunting gear.

Hey! I’m One!

October 17, 2012

FOUND by James in Richmond, California

I was going to take the 2:20pm train from Richmond, CA, to Sacramento, CA, but I had just missed it. While waiting for the 3:48pm I found this picture face down on the tracks. Sometimes it not so bad to miss a train. Written on the back: “hey! i’m 1 & i got daddy confused about his age 2. ha ha ha 1/07.”

The Smirk

September 30, 2012

FOUND by Emma in Berkeley, California

I was cleaning out a box of old stuff and found this photo in amongst a rubber stamp kit, fitness manuals, and various plastic clips. Neither of the women look familiar, but the one on the right has a great expression. Looks like a fun day on the farm (maybe Carmel?).

Notes of Love

September 4, 2012

FOUND by Lars outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I found this on the lobby floor of a friends prestigious condominium in 2003.
