Sad Umbrellas: Online Photographic Tales

Sad Umbrellas: Online Photographic Tales

2.jpg City dwellers around the world have documented effects of the umbrella's shortcomings. The photos evoke much, including the frustration of soaked pedestrians, and the eventual loneliness of taken for granted obsolescence. Iconico's collection of New York-area umbrella cast-aways tops the list of online photo galleries. The flickr Sad Umbrella group is another great source. Hilary Jack's Make do and Mend project documents the repair and use of abandoned umbrellas mostly around Manchester. Sean Hillen's Dublin-based Untitled Broken Umbrella Project is worth a gander. Hamish Robertson's Broken Umbrella Archive has documented New York foundlings since 2002. Check out this humorous customer service chronicle. What umbrellas-of-the-street diaries have we missed?
