Camera Mail

On the 22nd of December 2004, Kyle Van Horn taped a disposable camera to a piece of black foamcore and inscribed upon it the following message: "ATTENTION POSTAL WORKERS! Please help us with our project. As this camera travels across the country we want photos of all whom it encounters. Please take a photo before you pass it along. Thank you!" A week later, it arrived at my home in Portland, OR with all 27 exposures taken.

Yeah, and they all look an awful lot like my office, actually. Libraries and post offices must all order their shelves from the same place.
