Bromhead

This one was found sometime towards the end of 2011 in the YMCA charity shop Bedminster, Bristol.

Vicar in a Frame

I often use picture frames found in charity/junk shops for my artwork; the frames usually having an image already in them which I remove and put to one side. Sometimes behind the displayed picture there will be other stuff that has been covered up - another image, bits of card, paper, dirt, etc... This vicar was found betwixt a watercolour and wood panel. The text on the photo reads 'H. M. Viale(?) & Co, Bristol' and on the back, in ink, 'Southville, Bristol'.

The Graduate

Found in a charity shop in Weston-super-Mare.

Milk Stout

Since digital photography has come along and storing vast quantities of images on your computer has negated the need to print an image, I seldom chance upon the found photo anymore; it's become a very rare event indeed. My only joy now is stumbling across a photograph in a charity shop or flea market - but only if I find one where there shouldn't normally be one. For instance, this photo was found in a box of random paperwork whilst I was looking for knitting patterns in a charity shop in Weston-super-Mare. My golden rule is to never consciously search for them: they have to find me.

Dogs You Don't Know

Given to me by my friend Mole Leigh back when we were studying in Weston-super-Mare. It was originally framed and she found it in a charity shop - someone once had this picture on their wall. I had it on my wall for a while too...

Quiet Reserve

Not sure where I collected this gentleman from. I like his haircut though.
