Who Shot Me — The Investigation Continues

The mystery behind our unknown photographer is bigger than any one person. That’s why over 2,000 dedicated sleuths on r/WhoShotMe are actively piecing together clues, identifying faces and places, and sharing their own connections to this lost archive.  Join the conversation, contribute your insights, and help us solve this mystery.

Who Shot Me — Stories Unprocessed

Who Shot Me – Stories Unprocessed is an investigative journey into a defining era of the San Francisco Bay Area’s not-so-distant past. Your contributions to this project will help us process 75 rolls of film that remain locked in time, uncover clues, and share the living memories of people we connect with. With your toolkit, we might solve the mystery behind our unrecognized photographer’s disappearance.

By connecting youth with mentors, we build stronger communities.

A story takes hold when a community works together with a purpose. SpeakLocal is a place where concepts grow into stories shared.

Promoting business growth – from a youthful perspective.

When teens and adults connect with a purpose lives change.

•  Thousands of students have participated
•  Limitless potential explored
•  Stories are captured here

Young people need a little push at times – an invitation equals an opportunity. When obstacles are cleared change becomes organic. We make that happen, one person at a time, in a curated professional, limitlessly creative space.
