"Thoughts", the twelfth abandoned photo was found on the streets of México City, México.
Happy New Year! The year 2012 started few days ago, so it's still good time to celebrate a new year! Well, every day is a good day to celebrate something. Today, I'm celebrating that the twelfth abandoned photo was found! In fact, it was found weeks ago (the last year!), but I decided to tell it until now. I'll expain my decision.
I got an email from the person who found the photo, I got it the day after I left the photo! He told me a very nice story about how he found the photography, thus I kindly ask him to visit the blog for telling the story. I've waited several weeks for his answer or his comment at the blog. But sadly I haven't news from him. Hence, I thought "What should I do?" A) Don't tell the photo was found B) To tell the photo was found but don't tell the guy's story, C) To tell the photo was found and tell the guy's story. What ethical issue! I mean, the original idea of the project is to get the feedback of people who find the photography. And I got it... but in my email addresse, what's it's very nice too, but not at the blog. Maybe the man doesn't want to share his story. If it was the case...Do I have the right of telling the story? Would people believe that someone find the photo? Would people think I invented the story? Would people think I lie about the story? Arghhh! It was hard to decide what to do! That's the reason why I waited to say something about the finding of the twelfth abandoned photo! Finally, I took a decision.

Evidently, I decided to tell the photo was found. Also I decided to tell the story. Of course, I'll protect anonymity of the man. I hope he will confirm truthfulness of the story if he visit the blog. I trust readers will believe that the photo was found and a real person told me the story. I must say the story was written in Spanish, so I wrote a version in English.
"It was a magic experience. I was doing bicycling and I passed in front of a bench a first time. I saw a beautiful woman at the bench, she looked at my eyes and I looked at her eyes. I passed in front of the bench a second time. I did it again a third time because I expected to watch the woman again, however she wasn´t there anymore. Instead of the woman, there was a photo on the bench. I passed in front of the place a fourth time and I couldn't resist my curiosity about the photo so I stopped my bicycle. At same time, a man arrived at the bench, saw the photo and told me "You should put a votive candle next to the image". I thought " in this country all people want to put a votive candle next to any kind of image" (I found the photo at the Guadalupe Virgin's Day). My first thought about the photo was "Wow, Who´s he? Rasputin? Arturo Rivera? I watched attentively the photo and then the phantom images appeared. Now I have to go out,but I would like to tell you more about this so magical experience. I'm a visual artist and I understand your artistic language. You've created feelings. Regards. We keep in touch.
And that's the story. Of course I´m not the mysterious beautiful woman at the bench! I'm the photographer who took the photo of the story!
I really thank to the man who told me he found the photo, I'm very happy to know he has the "Thoughts"!
The original story is here:
"Fue una experiencia mágica, primero pasé con mi bicicleta y vi en una banca del parque a una mujer muy hermosa que me miró a los ojos fijamente y yo a ella, al dar una segunda y tercera vuelta al porque, al querer encontrar a esa mujer de nuevo solamente encontré una fotografía recargada en la banca del parque, hasta la cuarta vuelta no pudo más mi curiosidad y me detuve ante la banca y ante la foto, coincidí con un señor que se acercaba y que dijo "hay que ponerle una veladora", pensé: "en este país a cada imagen le quieren poner una veladora" (día de la Guadalupe). Mi primera reacción al ver la foto fue: "orale, ¿Es Rasputín? ¿Arturo Rivera? Ahora tengo que salir, pero me gustaría seguirles contando de esta experiencia tan mágica. Yo soy artista plástico y entiendo muy bien tu lenguaje. Un abrazo, generaste cosas. Seguimos en contacto."
Muchas gracias por escribir tu historia, ¡espero no te moleste que la haya compartido! ¡Un gran abrazo! Y espero algún día dejes un mensaje. ¡Gracias por hacer este proyecto una realidad!
