Missing Persons

As a frequent visitor to vintage stores, I have always wondered about the stacks of photographs that end up in the wooden bins. They are like lost faces, ghosts. How do photos of family, friends and events end up in a vintage store? Are the photos lost or discarded? Are the people in the photos forgotten? This ephemera is witness to a life lived. This series seeks to explore the humans behind the discarded photographs and imagine the lives lived. Who were they? What are their stories? What did they possess in abundance?
