Man Spends His Free Time Photographing Lost Gloves
Original article on OddityCentral.com – a blog on oddities and wacky news http://www.odditycentral.com/
48-year-old Mark Leigh, from Surrey, UK, is a self-confessed boring man who enjoys nothing more than to spend his days photographing lost gloves.
It all started around three years ago, when Mark found a lone glove on a stairwell at his workplace and thought it was strange. The very next day, he spotted another one in the street, and from then on, he just sort of had an eye for spotting them everywhere he went. “Once you’re aware of something, you see them everywhere,” he says. He soon started photographing his finds, and today he is proud owner of a collection of over 300 photos of lost gloves, the largest in Britain.

The married father of two works in works in marketing and is also a published author, but he spends most of his free time hunting for lost gloves to photograph. His extensive collection features the usual knitted gloves lost at the train station or near schools, but also unique and outright bizarre pieces, like a glove graveyard he discovered on one of his many hunts off the beaten path.
“One of the weirdest things I’ve seen was at New Romney beach in Kent,” Leigh recalls. There was a grassy area by the sand with a long fence, and on every post there was a glove – it was amazing. There must’ve been about 30. It was like a glove graveyard, the photo has pride of place in my collection. I don’t know who put them there or why they were there, but it was like a shrine to lost gloves.”

Although his wife and kids find Mark’s hobby odd, they are also proud of his achievements and find his glove photo collection endearing.
“My children find it quite odd, but when I have a story in the paper or online, they’re inwardly proud but outwardly sneering,” the collector says. “If I’m out with my wife, I have to stop and take a picture, but she endures it. She’s probably just grateful it’s not an expensive hobby, the only cost is of time and ridicule.”

BIN NOTE: If by now you haven’t figured out that Facebook and Google are in cahoots with the corrupt government, then I feel for you, but for those who are well aware of the issues it’s high time you switched over to Seen.life. It is a website that is similar to Facebook but without all the censorship.
