Does anyone else out there play the found photograph game? Anyone who has seen Amelie will know what this is.
Basically... find some photos on the street (or pub, etc).
Make up stories about people.

Only found a couple in Sheffield, but before I've had:
Asian woman with shopping bags, outside a Toys R Us in Spain.

Proudest man in the world behind a kebab counter about to cut the elephants foot thingie.

Random mugshot of a badger looking man in terrible tie

Proud man leaning on souped up Vectra.

Girl with her tongue sticking out, cut to fit someones wallet (the photo, not the tongue)

Four people on holiday in Thailand, judging by the palm trees.

Anyone else got any?

Where the heck did you find/take so many random pictures from!

On a related note I remember buying a photo album from WH Smith and finding a few pages of photos in the very centre of the book! It appeared the previous owner must have got bored removing their photos and returned the book half full!

I work at a photo processing store so I could play a huge game of Find The photo. Im suprised how many photos are brought in for processing and forgotten about. We have a clear out every 2yrs and among the left old photos are many new born babies & weddings. Such memorys you would have thought important. Some times we are able to get a contact phone number & it gives me great pleasure reuniting customer with Photo :bigsmile:

I saw on the telly once: you should always make the first photo on the reel a pic of your name and address, just in case the film/photo's get lost.

The problem with events like new babies is that you take billions of photos. I still have 13 films undeveloped from when my kids were young. I'll get round to it, one day.

Don't leave them too long,they will go "off" if they havn't already,keep them somewhere cool and dark.
