I am a HUGE fan of all sorts of history, which is why I am so into the instagram and work of Dave Schubert. For over 20 years, he has looked far and wide for found photos. Check the story behind one of his finds below, plus the photos he found!
So this past Sunday I was riding around when I noticed a homeless man holding a tin in his hand. The tin looked like a bulk film tin. I rode over to him and saw a bunch of cardboard boxes and a couple more of those tins. I opened one tin. It was full of slides! I took one out and held it to the sun. It was an 1980’s porn photograph! So I pulled out another, and another slide, they were all 1980’s porn!! I gotta get that other one too I thought… so I asked the homeless man “Hey man, do you want that tin your holding? I’ll give ya a five for it.” He looked at me, I handed him $5.00. He walked down the alley headed to the store. I put his tin in my bag and the other three tins in my bag. Here’s a selection I chose for you. Pretty good score for $5.00
