not that i need to start collecting something else, but i've recently become obsessed with other people's photographs. i've thought about collecting them for while now, but it wasn't until this past weekend that i purchased any at the flea market.
apparently, i'm not the only one with this bizarro interest. there was a documentary a few year's back called Other People's Pictures and dozens of blogs about found photos.
i'm not really sure what i want to do with them yet. art project? creative writing inspiration?
maybe we can have a caption contest? let's give it a try. feel free to write in your witty caption and/or back story for the OPP. here's our first below...

my old roomate found this photo album with pics from the 60s and 70s - it was in the place in our building where ppl put things they dont want. I found it totally creepy that she brought it upstairs (no offense), and then felt sad that someone could/would throw away their photos?? must have been a backstory there.
none taken. i think it definitely has the potential to be be construed as somewhat creepy.
i think i have more of an arty / creative interest in them - the more bizarro image the better. i'm looking at them as an objective image vs. having any emotionally vested interest that maybe projected onto them (as you say, sad that someone who throw away their photos).
wow - deep thoughts, by jack handy.
