Lost and Found and Published

Now I've mentioned Found Magazine before but I don't think I accorded it the attention it deserves. Created by Chicagoan (yes, that's what people who hail from Chicago are called. Yes I know it sounds funny but I am sure. I Googled it.) Davy Rothbart, Found Magazine is collection of random notes and doodles and photographs found by people all over North America. Similar to PostSecret, readers send in their finds by mail and Rothbart and his team sort through them and select the best to make magazines, the Found website and, more recently the Found book. Although they are taken out of context, the notes often hold their own and give the reader insight into the writer's thoughts and feelings at that particular moment in their life. The most important thing that sets the notes of Found apart from the postcards of PostSecret is that the notes are private and were never meant to be seen by anyone's eyes other than their intended recipient's. How come I can't come up with these awesome ideas?

You should be flattered...and what's with the paper?
