#2This is a fascinating article that covers something I've thought about plenty of times! Genuinely how often do people take virtually the same photo at the same time? You'd think it'd be more often at places like Disney World but it's fascinating to hear it happened in a scenario like this.

#3In a way this says something about human brains.
Presumably both people took many pictures of many waves that day, but somehow both of them decided that this is the one that is the best from that trip.
As humans we share a similar metric for beauty. I find this idea simultaneously obviously and amazing.

One that I sometimes think about is; how often you end up in other peoples photos? I wish there was an option in e.g. Google Photos where you could share (anonymously?) your photos with people you just happen captured by accident.

When you go to an event, you can search "{event.name} {date}" on twitter/youtube and potentially spot yourself. I do that a lot.

#9This is great! When I look at each picture with one eye simultaneously, I see the image in 3d.

Same! It’s truly amazing that our brains are capable of instantaneously synthesizing those minute differences into three-dimensional information.
