WHEN: January 2010 WHERE: Brooklyn, New York PHOTO: Leigh in NY It's like one of those tragic hard-partying starlets who collapses getting out of the limo.
WHEN: February 2010 WHERE: Kensington Market, Toronto PHOTO: Laurie McG. in Toronto Laurie sez: This was lying on the ground, underneath a bike. I spotted him and propped him up on a rock next to the bike in order to take a photograph, and make him more visible so that he might be reclaimed by his owner.
I had some computer issues that finally resolved themselves in a hard-drive death. Hence, the lack of posts recently. But, I'm back up a new horse, and moving forward. Not sure how many stored photos I had on that dead hard drive (or where I backed them up), so if you've been thinking about sending in your own photos, now is a great time!
I walk a lot in the city and few things catch my eye more than the forlorn toy lying in the gutter or some other sad spot. I am haunted by a dirty, fuzzy stuffed rabbit wedged into the tiny space surrounding a pay phone; by the legs of a plastic creature bursting out from beneath a car wheel; by the headless action figure lying prone in an oily puddle.
There are a million homeless toys in endless cities: Do send in your own photos and I'll post them here. (Real stumbled-upon toys only, please; no set-ups. ) Tell me what city the sad toy is in, and any other info you'd like to provide.
