Do you know who lost this film in Brooklyn's Prospect Park

during the last blizzard? This is a story of passing on a random act of kindness. Maybe you can be part of the kindness chain.

Here's the YouTube content description:

I was skiing in Brooklyn's Prospect Park and I found a roll of film. I had the film developed and this is what I found.

Please contact me if you recognize the people in the photos. [e-mail]

Thanks everyone for the support! Your emails and messages have been amazing. As of Wednesday Jan 19th at 1AM -- I have NOT found the owners of the film. I'll keep you updated.

By the way -- This story is 100% true. Cross my heart. I didn't realize that would even be an issue for some people. haha. Just interested in telling my story and finding the owners.

It's a nice gesture this guy's making.

5. There's a cool website about this very thing..

A guy who buys cameras often finds film (undeveloped) in them and started developing them & posting them with captions & musings about the people in the pics..

7. I hope this shot was a reenactment

and that whoever posted this didn't find some lost film of Honest Abe himself. :silly:

8. I think it was from some celebration..

some of the shots at that site are quite sad.. Pictures of people, long gone & their relatives don't even know those pics exist,..


Life is short, and when it's over few people remember us.
After a generation, it's as if we never lived at all.
The places we lived are home to others.
The things we owned fail and are thrown away.

9. I found a whole bunch of photos after Katrina

walking around the ruins of homes along the Mississippi Coast. I still have a few. I collected them thinking I might be able to track down the people who they belonged to - obviously family photos that someone, somewhere is missing. But who would that be? Where might they be? The photos could have come from that particular housing ruin or another home two miles down the coast. You couldn't even identify what the original address of those ruins were, and there was no system in place to track where those families had gone. Tragic and sad, indeed.
