All images in The New Found Photography are from my own private collection. I do not reblog or use any photos from any other source. All photos are either original prints or prints made from negatives in my collection. Remember, you can always click on an image to see it in a larger window.

What to do?
I refer to this blog as a found photography site. In reality, since most of the content is purchased at flea markets, antique malls, and on eBay, The New Purchased Photography would be a more apt title. True found photography, images found on the street, or in some abandoned building, is truly rare, and very special.
Anyway, there I was, walking down the street in Hollywood, just a few blocks from the Scientology building, when I looked over and saw this photo propped up on a pipe stand. It's not the type of found photography I'm really looking for. It's clearly a digital print, and a manipulated one at that. But, it was a photograph so I picked it up. Then, I turned it over and saw that someone had written their own little philosophical tract on the back, another thing I find fascinating. Needless to say, I took it. The big question was, what to do with it. The writing would normally go on my Fair Use blog. Photographs would normally end up here. In the end, I posted on both blogs. Photo first here, tract first on Fair Use.
