PX No.512
PX No.518
picturecrossing No.518 (EE No.2) The Mons Monkey (le Singe de Mons) in Belgium, wearing a Santa Hat.
CAMERA: Polaroid EE 100 (c.1980)
FILM: Polaroid 690 (expired 4/2009)
DATE: 11/26/10
LEFT: 3/31/13 in Bristol, England while visiting friends there I left it on a streetsign for Sydenham Rd. just off Wells Rd. in Totterdown.
FOUND: 4/1/13
"Hello! I've found #518 attached to my road sign in Bristol UK, outside a big grey church.
It's of a scared and slightly-guilty looking gargoyle, wearing a Santa hat. I thought at first it may've been associated with the church, but I'm not sure it's the kind of thing they'd support. Maybe that would explain the gargoyle's expression.
I found it on Easter Monday but left it alone, went home and checked your website. Then just now, waking past it again after work, I decided to take the gargoyle in and look after him for a bit.
I will set him free at some point in the future, hopefully in a very different part of the world. And I hope whoever finds it then also tells you.
Lovely thing to do!
Cheers, Jake M."

PX No.540
picturecrossing No.540 (SX No.453) Another virtually blank shot. It was very hard to keep these pictures covered in the freezing wind so I got several blank or obscured shots. You could barely make out some lines and people walking in the back of this picture shot at the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin, so I drew on it and collaged with trash and found objects.
CAMERA: Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 SE - c.1978
FILM: Impossible Project PX600 Silver Shade (box #430 11052010)
This pack had an odd "#32" printed on the back as if they were actually using old Polaroid backing materials.
DATE SHOT: 12/30/2010
DATE COLLAGED: 10/2012
LEFT: PX No.540 was left in Savannah, Georgia, USA on 11/13/2012 at the Greyhound Bus station near West Youmans Street, (which seemed to be under renovation) just below a red fire alarm. (see photo below) I left it there while transferring busses on my 8-hour ride from Jacksonville to Atlanta.
