Friday, September 17, 2004I Found Some of Your LifeWhat would you do if you found a digital camera memory card in a NYC taxicab? How about creating a blog in which you narrate the series of photographs, day by day, making up these life stories as you go along... [via metafilter]

I would take pictures of dogs crapping on the sidewalk and leave memory card in a starbuck's restroom to be discovered by an unsuspecting cad.
I like Starbucks. Their coffee is always hot and their pastries are not too bad. Also, the specific color of green they use in their logo is very nice. Soothing. Yeah, soothing.
Day 1. Photograph of a child playing in a park playground. The beauty of spring and the start of one's life. If only we could all play barefoot daily in a sandbox.
Day 2. Photograph of a woman with that same child. Father presumably the one taking the photograph. The two smiles are similar. They both have sandy blonde hair. Sunday afternoons. God how I long for these times while chasing whatever it is I'm after.
Day 3. Photograph of family dog with the little girl. The dog is probably one year of age, making him older in dog years than the three year old girl. The girl wears a Dodger jersey, oblivious to her father's obsession with the blue crew since the mid-1970s when he was about her age. The cycle of life. God how I wish the Dodgers never traded Piazza, or LoDuca for that matter.
