Disposable Camera=Crowdsourced Art

Unfortunately due to a server failure in April 2008, posts made prior will not have any of the referenced images... my wordpress content folder was wiped out. Sorry if that causes any confusion when reading. -ac

Normally, I post art/design related stuff on my tumblr because it makes for easy posting from any site…and it also helps me keep my life separated just a little bit. But I think this warrants a dual post:

This might be one of the coolest ideas I’ve ever seen and it may have been done before, I don’t know. All I know is that it is incredible. Basically, this guy named Jake tied a disposable camera to a bench on a city street with this note:

Good afternoon,
I attached this camera to the ben
ch so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I’ll be back later this evening to pick it up.
Love, Jay / The Plug

So he left for the day, and this is what happened

Very cool to see what happens when people act as random photographers. It would be really cool to do something like this in each major city and make it a website.
