Look at Me

Description:
These photos were either lost, forgotten, or thrown away. The images now are nameless, without connection to the people they show, or the photographer who took them. Maybe someone died and a relative threw away their photographs; maybe someone thought they were trash.

Some of the photos were found on the street. Some were stacked in a box, bought cheap at a flea market. Showing off or embarrassed, smug, sometimes happy, the people in these photos are strangers to us. They can't help but be interesting, as stories with only an introduction.

The LOOK AT ME project started with a few photos found in a Paris street in 1998.

The collection now contains more than 300 photos, many of which were submitted online.

LOOK AT ME was featured as the cover story of Design Week Magazine (UK), featured in the New York Times, Financial times, Print Magazine, and was site of the week on many internet portals (MSN, Yahoo,etc.)
