i loooooooove stuff like this! the poetry and beauty of serendipity. thanks for the link, CS1! i was unaware of that site.
-
Yeah beauty link CS1 - someone from the RJoFA was on NPR's City Arts & Lectures (?) awhile back. Err well it's not NPR, and the website has no 'search' or archive . . sooo . . *sniff* well, anyhoo it was a good bunch of stories with his personal take on why he loved them. One was a letter from son to dad that was pretty moving and one was an algebra test that was hilarious. --so *that's* where that envelope went!

petebest, I think I know what you're talking about - is it Found Magazine? They were on NPR recently. I like peeking at the lives of total strangers this way. This is my favorite object from Found Magazine's website.

that was the link *i* posted! above!!! you guys ignoring me? *sniff*
-
I was in such to reply to petebest that I skipped right over your post ... oops. How about a glass of tasty, delicious, creamy egg nog to make up for it?

I totally misread a line in this one as "I'm a good snowman." Awesome link, certainsome1.

mmmm... nooogggg.....

wow excellent post.- would anyone be tempted to submit something of their own to the site and pretend it was found. how can the integrity of those projects be maintained with such a huge submission base? how can the "authenticity" of the works be tested? does it matter? is a note written by me and submitted to a site any different for the "viewer" than a genuinely "found object"? is stumbling over it on the net the same as stumbling over it in the street? can i cut and paste the images onto my own website and start a journal of virtual found art?

And the tomorrow's free time is now claimed for as well.
