Another set of passport photographs found on a Croydon street in 2004-ish. I have no idea how or even why this person decided to take a photo of their denim clad chest, but they did. Normally you get about three or four attempts to take a half decent photo (when I say 'half decent photo', what I mean is a photo of your face, your very own frozen phizog, captured forever resembling a recently warmed up cadaver), so if it looks rubbish you can try again. You also have to push a button to confirm you're happy with the photo. Pretty simple. I can only assume then that the person in this photo is either incapable of using a photo booth, or they actually did want a picture of their jacket front.

Plastic Furniture
Found on Oakfield Road, Croydon back in 2001-ish. Even though I've had this photo for 10 years, it was only upon scanning today I realised the thing obscuring the patio furniture is probably a finger. Or sausage roll.

Very Little Helps
Whilst I wouldn't want anyone to think I rummage through bins on a regular basis, I must confess that this is how I found these two sets of photos. For my sins I was shopping at Tesco (gah!) in Yate (double gah!) when I noticed the 'Photo-Me' booth technician cleaning out his machine of all sorts of crap into a nearby waste receptacle. I was intrigued and suspiciously loitered at the end of the checkouts waiting for him to leave... After long awkward minutes of pretending to text someone, I eventually seized the opportunity to claim my rubbish bin prize as the operator made his way out of Tesco. My friends, I was not disappointed...

Threesome
A collection of credit card sized photos that presumably fell from the purse of a white, middle class lady who is part of the country set. Found in Waterstone's at Cribb's Causeway (demographic: neurotic, white, middle class women that live in South Gloucestershire and love a 3 for 2 combining historical fiction, romance, and stories of challenged individuals that overcome adversity.).

Jerome
Found in Waterstone's Cribb's by 'seasonal colleague' Jerome, Christmas 2009. Looks like it's been cut from an ID card or summat...
