Accidental Mysteries

Design Observer is now on Pinterest. We'll be creating a new board each week to coordinate with the Accidental Mysteries column theme. Follow us on Pinterest and let us know if there are great images we are missing in our boards. - The Editors

Accidental Mysteries is an online curiosity shop of extraordinary things, mined from the depths of the online world and brought to you each week by John Foster, a writer, designer and longtime collector of self-taught art and vernacular photography. “I enjoy the search for incredible, obscure objects that challenge, delight and amuse my eye. More so, I enjoy sharing these discoveries with the diverse and informed readers of Design Observer.”

Funny and disturbing at the same time...must be art! I was particularly amused by "Big Dick" machine gun, and "Shoot for the University Baptist Church". Thanks.

John Foster and his wife, Teenuh, have been longtime collectors of self-taught art and vernacular photography. Their collection of anonymous, found snapshots has toured the country for five years and has been featured in Harper’s, Newsweek Online and others.
