Strangers in the park

I KNOW, RIGHT?! All those strangers in our photos and likely us in strangers photos! It is kind of disconcerting.

This one time I was looking at some friends' photos on Facebook. Just an album of stuff they had done recently and as I was looking at a photo of them out to dinner I saw a girl I knew, unconnected to these friends, in the background! It was actually a little bit of a mind-bender.

Now sure, these friends were having dinner at Cumulus Inc and the girl in the background worked there, so it is not so crazy. And yet, that this photo should have been taken at just the time when she was walking past... That I should look at these photos! It really was all pretty weird.

Sometimes I think about how I am in the video of some complete stranger's baby. Yes. Once at a shrine in Tokyo these Japanese people were videoing there very little baby and, even though we were in a pretty touristy area, these people brought there baby up to me and were getting me to shake the baby's hand. And taping the whole thing! Baby's first gaijin meeting. So weird.

Today, I actually took a photo of some strangers on purpose. I did it for you guys! I was at this park and these people were just making out on this bridge the WHOLE TIME! With the exception of a few minutes where they were photographing a kookaburra then picked up my baby's lost shoe.


Based on an aural glimpse, the fact that we were in Caulfield, and the fact that this woman is wearing a bright pink puffer, I think they were Russian. I'm just saying.
