This is F**kin Crazy

I took the photograph of this couple (strangers to me) at Burning Man on Friday September 4th.

Nine days later I made the portrait of this young man (who had been juggling knives) at the Saturday Market in Portland, OR. Yesterday, while looking through my pictures I realized that the guy in Portland might be the same guy from Burning Man. I did a side by side comparison and sure enough it was the same guy. I photographed the same person 500 miles apart and did not know it. I do remember a feeling of familiarity when I met him in Portland but never connected that feeling to actually involving me and my camera.

Circumstances like this are really precious.

This is even crazier than Jennifer Boomer running into the Alaskan guy.
