An exceptional coincidence

July 20, 2008 the photo book “The PS-series” was published.
Showing images made at “El Triple” in Baja California, Mexico.

Some of the pictures from the “PS-series” show fishing boats that appeared close to the beach at El Triple certain times of the year.

Now, the Fuso Szulc is back at El Triple and the neighbour is Juaquin, the guard of the resort under construction nearby.

Because Juaquin has nothing to do, he was borrowed the photo book “The PS-series”.
So he would be entertained by images made on a beach right in front of him.

Two days later Juaquin comes to the Fuso Szulc totally delighted.
In his hands the photo book “The PS-series”.

He says: “Look at page 45!!!”.
We see a fishing boat speeding by and in the back ground a huge cactus flower.



OK, Juaquin, and?

Do you realize, he says, that the fishing boat has the name: “Flor de Mar”?
(Flower of the sea).

Yes, that is quite a coincidence.
When that image was made, no awareness of the name of that fishing boat was present.

But, Juaquin, how do you know?
Because, he says with shining eyes, that man in the picture steering the fishing boat, that is me!

And damned if it is not the truth, indeed, the captain of the boat was the current neighbour Juaquin!

At the time when the picture was made, no construction of a resort was going on at El Triple.
Juaquin worked then as a fisherman with his boat “Flor de Mar”.

How deep can coincidences go?

Those are the kinds of instances that make some people believe in gods, eh?
