Lost & Found: The Search for Harry & Edna
A thousand personal photographs lost for sixty years and then found, in a secondhand store. Lost and Found tells the story of an anonymous couple's past. Who are these people? Why were their photographs abandoned?
If an image were shared on Facebook or Twitter every 24 hours, how many years would it take until someone saw their father, aunt, uncle, or mother? Could a social media community find the answers before it was too late?
A photographer’s quest to identify the enigmatic man and woman would lead him on a journey spans the globe and ends at the intersection of contemporary photography, social media, and our places in history.
