Description

The Photo Man is a fascinating short documentary about Mark Kologi, a "found" photograph trader in Hollywood. For years now, he's run a stall offering for sale countless boxes of photos, gathered from around the country and has sold more than 3 million forgotten personal photos over the years, offering up tiny missing snippets of people's lives for purchase on the cheap. The film provides an interesting look at the kind of connection that can be formed by a group of strangers peering through the pasts of people they've never known, and why he goes through all this effort to bring these photographs together.
