Torn photographs, much like discarded playing cards, are a common sight on city streets. A new blog titled Torn Lives collects those photos, and attempts to fill in the blanks.
Much like Dear Photograph, a blog that superimposes old photos onto real life — Torn Lives plays on the idea that there’s a story behind every photo — with something not fully evident going on off frame.
The blog was created by Renaud Donovan, a 35-year-old from Brussels who works for the local authorities. “I had some old torn photographs in my albums and I wanted to create something new and sensible with these forgotten pictures,” he says.
Some of the images are humorous, others poignant. Either way, this new blog makes for an exceedingly intriguing Tuesday afternoon diversion.
So start sending in those ripped-up snaps of your exes. We would very much like to revel in your pain.
