November Top 3--The Stuff You Leave Behind

1) Is This You? This site houses hundreds of "lost and found" images, supposedly left behind in photo booths and film development shops or discarded by people who don't really care to have pictures of certain people anymore.








































The people running this site sure do find a lot of lost photos. I didn't see any pictures of myself, I assume because any that existed have been burned by whomever might have owned or found them. Are you here? Is this you?
















Take a gander sometime.

2) Personas. Here you can search to see what traces you have left behind on the web. Type your name...
















and find out who you are,













according to the web and what it "knows" about you.













And it knows. And at the end it gives you a handy little breakdown of the impression the web has of you and what you're all about.













And it knows.

3) Love Letters. This last site houses a collection of love letters. Each colored square contains one.
















Some are written on scraps of paper.
















Others on whole white sheets.























And all were written by the same person, Asia, and they weren't really lost or left behind exactly. They were made, recorded and distributed and I think it's supposed to be artsy.























But they should be left behind, so let's do that beginning right now.
