Photographer Jeff Phillips discovered boxes of Kodachrome slides in an antique store, all featuring one couple. He set out on a quest through social media to find out who they were. The results are on view in a show “Lost and Found” that just opened at Chicago’s Intuit Center for Outsider Art. Phillips hopes the images get us asking what happens to our photos, and the memories of us, after we pass away. He details the project. (Photo courtesy of Is This Your Mother?)
