ABOUT FOUND PHOTOS:

The Found Photos project started in 2004, while searching for mp3's using a filesharing program. After downloading a folder of mp3's, I came across a folder named 'pictures' inside of the album folder, and found a handful of digital camera photos. This made me wonder what else was out there, what people are publicly sharing - after a few quick keyword searches I came across thousands of them publicly shared.

The FoundPhotos Archives consist of my filtered view from thousands of images downloaded via peer to peer filesharing networks, updated semi-regularly.

In April of 2004 the Found Photos began getting some widespread attention through blogs and other sites linking to it, which led to a brief whirlwind of media interest including an article published in the Circuits section of the New York Times (Click here for link to article) and a Reuters article on filesharing that included Found Photos (Click here for link to article) Tom Kealey at the Daily Pick also did an interview with me back in September of 2005 about the Found Photos (Click here for link to article)
