Another piece left from my bookmark purification: The creators of this playful website collected lost photos for years. Quote:“They come from photobooths and pavements all over the UK. The isthisyou-project was born out of a simple question: Is it possible to reunite these images with their owners?”
When I bookmarked it last summer no owner was found – but then a Japanese photo ID card was claimed by a woman who said it was stolen in London last year. Now about 8% of the photos found their face again!
States the creator: “All I ever wanted was for someone to see themselves on the site and experience that flash of recognition, that moment of synchronicity that happens only a very few times in any life.”
Are you there, too? Is this you?
