Online since October, 1997, coolstop's mission has been to provide fresh pointers, primarily to the more non-commercial, creative side of the web. Daily Picks and Site Reviews were featured throughout coolstop's first 10 years and listings of active sites have been archived for your enjoyment. With an eye out for original creative content and personal expression and sometimes, useful resources, meaningful initiatives, or amusing diversions, coolstop continues to recognize great sites in the spirit of its original mission, now in the form of NewFoundCool – enjoy!

Description: a collection of found photos

Comments: "Either lost, forgotton or thrown away, these images now are nameless..."  #166 is a mother and child taken in Abertillery, Wales; the bicycle in #165 does look like it's from the early 70s; check out the children in #224; the duck is almost as big as the kid in #228, taken in 1958.  When did color photography come into being?  That undated picture from Wales is in color but seems old-fashioned... is it?  Today's pick has over 200 "found photos" in the nicely-designed gallery – what a cool concept.  The oldest dated one I found so far was from 1938 but I've barely gotten into the collection and feel certain there's some even older ones.  My guess is that people will keep submitting photos and that users will love visiting the site on a regular basis.  Not sure why, but it seems to me the perfect pick for a lazy Sunday – enjoy...  [chronopolis|NEW YORK]
