I've been really fascinate...I'd love to borrow it! I've been really fascinated lately by community art projects like "Before I Die" and Postsecret. Where everyday people you pass on the street can have really poetic things to say if one bothers to ask. Something like this would make a neat thesis show. Have you seen the movie Amelie? I love how the guy collects discarded photobooth pictures of strangers.Emily Rickardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037286339233913560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801801134867562469.post-90094654945164924092008-08-26T06:59:00.000-07:002008-08-26T06:59:00.000-07:00My favorite is definitely the disoriented "I want ...My favorite is definitely the disoriented "I want to be nice" dude. Haha.. If you haven't heard of them already, I think you'd really enjoy the "Found" books by Davy Rothbart.
