Missed Connections

And now for something a little different. I've not been great at taking pictures lately, as you may have noticed, and even worse about posting them. However, I ran across this photographer's website today and I really liked this particular project he is doing. Check it out: http://kevinbuchholz.com/missedconnections.html He basically looks at the missed connections section on craigslist, then contacts the poster and sets up a photoshoot to depict the ad. I think it's really creative, and I sort of love the idea.

It reminded me, also, of this graphic novel: http://missedconnectioncomics.blogspot.com/ Check it out - it's basically the same idea as the photos, but comics artists put together an anthology based on the missed connections section.

I haven't ever read the missed connections part of craigslist, but both of these projects make me curious. Granted I'll probably forget to ever check them out, but I like the creativity that's come out of them and it reminds me to look for creativity and inspiration in what seems to be unlikely places! :)
