Someone Once Told Me is a photo blog with a nice twist.  It is the brain child of Mario Cacciottolo, who describes it thus:

“We are all shaped by the things that someone once told us. The words we hear impact on us, whether we want them to or not, and it’s undeniable that they have a power.

Someone Once Told Me is essentially a means for me to practise my photography and to give me something to do on my days off as I wander around London, which always feels full of possibilities.

But SOTM is also an attempt to gather and chronicle some of the things that people have heard in their lives, the messages and expressions that have stuck in people’s head, for reasons both obvious and odd.

What SOTM actually means is that people are asked, sometimes by appointment and sometimes randomly, to hold up a large piece of paper, upon which they write something that someone once told them. Or emailed. Or texted. Basically something that’s been communicated to them. But told, preferably.”

I love this site - I love the way it is presented, I love the black and photos, I love it’s simplicity, I love the stories accompanying the photos.

They don’t always work for me - but most of the time they do.

So I check it every day - and I love it!
