The Found Photos project consists of a collection of private photos which file-sharing users have unknowingly made public when installing P2P software.
The result is a pastiche of modern life upon which you can't feel at least slighty guilty for intruding:

The Found Photos project started in 2004, while searching for mp3's using a filesharing program.
After downloading a folder of mp3's, I came across a folder named 'pictures' inside of the album folder, and found a handful of digital camera photos. This made me wonder what else was out there, what people are publicly sharing - after a few quick keyword searches I came across thousands of them publicly shared.

"hey, who's this guy with socks and flip flops on picking his nose? This picture looks like it predates the great intergalactic war of 2247."
