Back Page - The Lurker - Page One

Here is a type of found photograph sought by collectors.

It is called "The Lurker."

They are fairly ordinary pictures except there is always at least one person in the background or off to one side caught in the frame. They are often aware of the picture being taken but often unaware that they are in it.

Here are a few examples. See if you can spot the lurker in each snap.

Saddle shoes ...

And saddle shoes ...

And more saddle shoes.

"There he goes Melba. Shoot him!"

Keep looking. She's there on the right edge.

If you can't find him, click on the picture. That will take you to where the picture is stored on Flickr. Mouse-over and the Lurker will me marked.

Can't get enough? There are other Lurkers...well,...lurking on previous pages.
