If you ever lost the memory card/stick/whatever for your camera, would you miss it? I probably wouldn’t, as I offload my pictures onto my main system on a nightly basis. But what if you had a years worth of pictures on the camera, chronicling a great deal of your life, and you lost the card? What if a tech-savvy somebody found that camera card, and started a blog with it? From the site’s intro:
In my possession is one (1) memory card from a digital camera. This memory card was found in a taxi in New York City. I have no idea who the owner of the camera is.
The pictures on the memory card were taken over the course of exactly one (1) year in this person’s life, starting July Twenty-Fifth, Two Thousand and Three (07-25-03) and ending July Twenty-Fourth, Two Thousand and Four (07-24-04).
I am going to post one (1) picture here each day. As there are two hundred and twenty-seven (227) pictures, there will be two hundred and twenty-seven (227) posts. The pictures will appear in chronological order according to the timestamp accompanying each image.
As the images add up, I will attempt to assemble an identity for this unknown person. Each day’s new picture will be a fresh addition to this photographic life-documentation. Only with the unveiling of the final picture (the two hundred and twenty-seventh (227th)) will we finally have a full understanding of this person’s life over the past year – at least as far as these pictures will allow us to infer.
Further, in an attempt to present this pictorial information in a more personal manner, and also to better allow for some artistic license, I am going to pretend that I am the owner of the camera. I’ll call me Jordan, because that’s the name on my birthday cake (you’ll see).
A fascinating look into another person’s life. Link via TheDren.
