What Are The Odds?

I recently shot the wedding of Dennis Yedwab and Blake Newmark at the historic Sixth and I Synagogue in D.C. Blake had noticed that on my former web site, the site for which this blog is temporarily standing in, there was a photograph of this little girl, photographed sometime around 1996 in the hills surrounding Petra, Jordan. I remember her distinctly, with her beautiful white teeth and her Artful Dodger personality.

Blake remembers her, too. She photographed the exact same little girl on her own trip to Petra, probably that same year.

Here's Blake's photo. While maybe not astronomical, you have to wonder about the odds of us both shooting the same little girl, along the same mountain road, more than halfway around the world, and then hooking up ten years later for a wedding.
