Week two of my personal project to read any articles etc that relate to photography in some way. So far so good! This week I came across an article on the World Photography Organisation website about how a teenager from Staten Island had taken it upon herself to collect hundreds of photographs that had been lost by their owners during the storm. The aim of this was to "help people save what are most often their most meaningful belongings". The found photos have been tacked on boards waiting to be reunited with their rightful owner's, and will be kept hold of until they are claimed.
I think that this is such a thoughtful thing to do. Now a days people really focus on material possessions but when you lose everything it is memories like these that are lost. Photos are irreplaceable and it can be heart breaking to lose them. I really hope that they find their way back to their owners.
