Serendipity or Synchronicity


Here's an interesting image crop; of a common moment of serendipity! I'm in Panera Bread & decided to experiment and make a stereo pair (two separate images taken from slightly different points of view. When you hold the pair side-by-side and look SOFTLY at them your mind creates a virtual 3-D image ). 

This total stranger decides to get up JUST AFTER I framed the shot and triggered the shutter - that split second the guy stood up & of course the first thing any of us do is survey our surroundings. 

What naturally catches our eye, is a person taking a selfie like I was. Undoubtedly you a look at the camera then look at the person - he did exactly that... at  The EXACT moment of exposure!

 I've gotten several shots like that already... I'm thinking of starting a series! 
I've caught other total strangers looking at my camera from over my shoulder at the moment of exposure (usually self timers). 

Hey, I was killing time waiting for the lines to subside and decided to amuse myself as a failing defense & escape from my loneliness...Yet another meal alone...it's really getting to me. Day after day Year after year. Can anyone relate?
