Lens to lens with a stranger

Not a particularly spectacular photo - just a hastily taken scene in a busy farmer’s market, shot with a smartphone because I didn’t want to disturb the vendors on the other side of the display.

I moved so quickly through this scene that I failed to notice the very real stranger to frame right apparently taking a picture of me at the exact same moment.

So somewhere out there, someone has a photo of me taking this photo. A photographic collision of strangers, if you will. What, then, are the odds we ever cross paths again?
