HELIOLITH

A fellow in Canada just came up with the sweetest idea that dovetails two different websites I love: Found and Post Secret.  Matt collects and posts photographs from lost cameras that the finders send in to connect the orphaned pictures with their long lost owners.  Just a lovely idea.  Wedding photos, teenagers plastered at Lollapalooza, strangers goofing off, an old man flying a plane.  The website invokes that same odd familiarity of perusing strangers’ photos in a second hand shop.  I’ve lost personal things like this before–never a camera, but nevertheless–I’d be so delighted to get those belongings back.  Daily Dose of Imagery is tangentially related too and worth mentioning.
