Accidental Photobombing



    Have you ever wondered how many unknown pictures of you are there in the world? I have. And I am not talking about the sum of the pictures I upload on Facebook plus the ones I refuse to share. No. I'm talking about ALL the pictures that, without me knowing, I get to be in. How many cute romantic selfies, family pictures, and vacation shots in the whole entire world have the privilege (or misfortune) to have my face in them?
If I could get to find every single one of those pictures and display it in chronological order, what kind of life story would they be showing? Would I be surprised? Embarrassed? Would it be accurate? Misleading?
I wonder if there is somebody in Greenland, Cairo, or Borneo with a pretty epic portrait of a family trip where my presence is part of the sea of nameless faces that conform the trivial background.
It really does intrigue me. How many millions of accidental photo-bombs am I part of? How many countries has my anonymous face visited so far?

I guess I’ll never know.
