FOUND Magazine

By collecting and displaying discarded notes and photos and scraps, FOUND magazine creates a kind of conceptual frame around them, helping us see their depth and expressiveness. It takes a playful eye to find the kinds of things found in FOUND. It's an art in itself, building on the everyday to reach the transcendent, remarkably similar in spirit to, for example, to kids playing in a vacant lot, and, coincidentally, Junkyard Sports.

They explain: "we collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, doodles- anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. anything goes. we certainly didn't invent the idea of found stuff being cool. every time we visit our friends in other towns, someone's always got some kinda unbelievable found note or photo on their fridge. we wanted to make a magazine so that everyone can check out all the strange, hilarious and heartbreaking things people've picked up."

Online, be sure to take a look at FOUND's Find of the Week as well as their collection of found notes, and found photographs.
