Accidental Mysteries

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.”

Nice collection! They all link to interesting sites, too, which means I got to spend even more of my day with them then usual.

Thanks Dan. The links, the places/site these found images take you, is part of the exploration. With most images, there is so much more to discover if you are willing to look and dig deeper.
