Serendipity? I don't know what else to call this.

Back in the middle 80's I did wedding photography for several friend's weddings. I took a shot of a single climbing rose. It's divided on the diagonal into light and dark. There is a man in the background on the dark side. He is so well hidden in the background I have to show people where he is but once you see him, you always see him. I lost contact with the man in the background a good 30 years ago.

I had also taken the photos at the wedding of the man in the background of the rose pic a few months earlier.

He passed away about 5 years or so ago. Just recently I made contact with his oldest daughter and I found out she has a younger sister.

This is the serendipitous part. Back in the 80's I had 3 11 x 14 inch prints made of the rose pic. I framed one and it has hung on my wall since then. The other two prints are in the envelope they came in.

I get to give each of his daughters one of the rose prints!!!

Here's the rose print. The close up is where he is.

Pretty cool actually. You wouldn't know unless you were told.
