Luck happens when preparation meets opportunity. If you don’t agree, how would you explain all these peculiar coincidences that were captured — a grandmother with butterfly wings, a seagull pulling a girl’s head off the beach, or a child that can control water... It wasn’t just someone’s quick hands that grabbed the camera, but rather the right time and the right place.
