90 Interesting Images From This Group Dedicated To “Found Photos”
There’s a certain thrill to stumbling upon a heap of random “found photos” at a flea market, in the back of a thrift-store drawer, or even in the pages of a library book. They might seem at first glance to be nothing special, just grimy snapshots, a 1970s family portrait with everybody dressed in unfashionable attire, a blurry photo of a beach, or a candid shot of two friends mid-laugh.
Yet if you linger long enough, those anonymous photographs begin to whisper: Who are these people? What were they up to? Where did the rest of this story go? Found photos open our curiosity in a way that impeccably staged images never can. There is no caption to guide us, no familiar subject to anchor us. Instead, we’re left with tantalizing fragments, an ill-fitting dress, a half-eaten birthday cake, a couple frozen in a private joke.
