Love Letter

February 16, 2008 @ 5:14 pm · Filed under found

I saw this torn page sitting on top of the garbage at the post office. I couldn’t resist taking it. Now there are so many questions:

Who threw it away, Sean or the recipient?

If it was Sean, did he decide not to send it? Did he rewrite this page because he screwed up the first sentence?

    I really don’t think people should post other people’s personal stuff on the internet.

    I agree. If this letter contained any personally identifiable information, I would not have posted it.

    Found art, poetry, and photography has a long history, not just on the internet, but in books, magazines, and museums. There’s actually a term for found photography: vernacular photography. It’s quite popular, even at the acclaimed International Center for Photography.
