spotted 02
There are plenty of other photos which didn't make it to the main section. Usually because they break certain of the rules.
Just a few examples below (see the blog for stuff as it happens!)
My colleage Sally moved in to a new flat and found the following photos and a rather interesting letter in her loft. The photos were in separate sections of her loft which is cool. Unfortunately they have gone back in to her loft space !
Saw this in a public phone box Wednesday 30 Apr 03 in Tin Pan Alley, London.
A man dropped a photo from his wallet in 1998 on the Circle Line.
Instead of just waiting until he left the carriage I pointed it out to him ! It would have contravened Rule 3 anyway. D'oh
Numerous lost and found passport photos (mostly work passes) in the ticket office window at Farringdon Station. If I had asked for them it would possibly have put me in contravention of Rules 3 and 4. D'oh
I saw a work pass on a doorstep near Marble Arch when I walked from Paddington Station to Holborn once.
I found a passport photo just before Christmas 1999 on the staircase at my office. After taking the photo home overnight I decided to hand it in to personnel so as to save future embarrassment. Since then I have realised that the person on the photo sits only a few desks down from me ! Definitely would have broken Rule 2. D'oh.
Two friends have each admitted to walking past passport photos in the street and only later realising that they could have picked them up for me ! D'oh.
Work colleague spotted a passport photo one morning at Charing Cross Tube Station. I went in search of it about an hour later, but by then it had gone
For about 4 weeks there was a photo face down on a grill outside a central London hospital. Unfortunately I could not reach it because of railings in the way. The grill was protecting a heat outlet, so the photo was being preserved despite the rain. One day I decided I was going to try and reach it (by kneeling down and stretching my arm through the railings, but by then it had been cleared away (lots of other rubbish had been cleared away too)).
BT photo-ID pass found minutes after Girl 11. Now returned to BT.
14th September 2001. Photo in the street on the way to work. Photo was of a photo developing envelope ! Unfortunately it was in a pile of greasy rubbish outside a house so I didn't think it too pleasant to pick up !
