#460 Mike Nouveau, Noir Rain and Mike Parle on Mott St, NoHo, New York.


Rain(center) is visiting NY from Hong Kong, and I walked with her in SoHo to meet Mike(left).
On the way to meet him, I found a guy(right) on the street and asked him "Can I take photo of you for my blog?" as usual, and he said "Yes."
I asked his name, and he answered "I'm Mike!"
I said "Mike?? We have a friend named Mike and gonna meet him from now!" and he said "Wow, I'm waiting for him too!"

I and Rain didn't know Mike before(he is visiting here from Melbourne), but we connected each other naturally.
People usually say this things "such a small world", but actually I trust we could encounter people naturally if we have something in common.

I photographed this after we all got together.


香港から遊びに来ている友人のRain(中央)とSoHoをぶらり。
途中、Mike(左)と会うことになって適当に彼を待つ為にカフェへ向かうその途中、写真右の男性を見かけていつも通り声をかける、「写真を撮ってるんだけど撮らせてもらえませんか?」
彼は快く承諾してくれて写真を撮る前にちょっと話し込む。
名前を尋ねると「I'm Mike!」って。
それを聞いて「Mike??今から違うMikeに会うんだよ!笑」って言ったら「違うMike??僕も彼と今から会うところで適当に時間を潰してたんだ。」ってMikeも。

Mikeはメルボルンからの旅行者。
こういう出来事を「世界は狭い」だとか「偶然」って言葉で表してしまえばそれまでだけれど、人々はみんなどこかで繋がっているんだっていうのを改めて感じた出来事だなって。

この写真はみんなが揃った後の一枚。
