“There’s no such thing as a coincidence,” they say, yet many little moments we encounter every day just seem more like happy (or unhappy) accidents rather than anything else. Especially if you have an eye for these things like Edas Wong.
Nothing escapes the lens of this photographer when he goes out on the streets. In the images below, you can see the many brilliant accidents he’s captured recently, where the lines between cityscape and people are blurred.
This is our third post about Edas’ work, don’t forget to check the other two: part 1, part 2.

Yeah, just don't tip that one over and pour it out!

Loved that kettle. Only Starbucks I would save if it came to it.
Load More Replies...Does it hold one thousand, nine hundred and forty-two cups of tea? Just enough for me, I think.
Or that may be the year when the restaurant started doing business....
Load More Replies...A great picture with the giant teapot matching the stream of white clouds in the sky !
Bored Panda asked the photographer whether he has any tricks for being able to spot such “happy accidents” and capture them. However, Edas says there really aren’t special tricks or secrets: “The most important is to focus on the present moment, i.e. high concentration in observation. All interesting moments are happening around us but we just overlook them.”
Wong approaches the process of street photography as a somewhat meditative experience, always trying to clean his mind as much as possible and concentrating on whatever he's capturing.
The artist denies having any rituals or special routine on the day of shooting: “I often go to a crowd, no matter indoor or outdoor, and then shoot. However, I can also shoot in an empty area, i.e. garden without people.” According to Edas, the most important thing is being “in the now” and observing everything around you.
Although his new blood pressure pills came with unusual side effects, he actually found them quite useful.
Birdie flying at me and another flying past me but it's only one bird!
From far away the bird flying looked like a floating dog head and the buildings reflection looks like a penis.... Js...
Why do the wings look unextended on the 'real' bird, while reflection looks fully extended? I'll chalk it up to incomplete view. :/
The bird is flying toward the camera head on. Shadow is side angle.

We wondered if Edas would be interested in trying out different styles of photography, like working with models or brands, for example. He replied that currently other fields of photography don’t interest him. However, the photographer is considering trying his hand at writing. “It could be another good media for creativity,” says Edas.
Is anyone else bothered by the fact that this makes her hand open the wrong way?!
I was just writing a comment on how much its pissing me the f**k off. Im glad someone else is sharing the rage
Load More Replies...When you go around and position yourself and camera at the right angles you can make all kinds of stupid pictures... you're not special, you didn't accidentally happen upon an interesting picture.
When asked about future goals and aspirations, the photographer says he’d love to shoot in London and New York. Also, to show his work: “I want to have a solo exhibition. My photos have been shown in several joint exhibitions, however, I haven’t had a solo exhibition yet.”
It's chibi maruko chan, a completely different animation

Isn't it nice to have your hair done a work even though the dryers should be updated!
But don't you have to have your hair done the same as everyone else?
Load More Replies...Obviously commissioned by a male. A female would have noticed the placement was a little off. 😳
And have done what about it? The designer of the ad and the one actually putting it on the bus are two entirely different people, male of female.
Load More Replies...This one is Meh, Don't see anything really funny or coïncidental with this one. If it is about the boobielights, I say Meh. Don't know what the words say, maybe that is the fun part?
Yeah, if it is the placement of the lights, then it doesn't really match up well enough to be considered funny or outlandish in any way. I wouldn't bat an eye at it
Load More Replies...the perfect thing to teach young children.
Load More Replies...So you have a stiff neck - let me see what I can do about that - now this won't hurt a bit!
If you upset kitty, she'll take her sandals off and you'll feel her claws.
Load More Replies...why? can u explain? I dont see anything special in this one
Load More Replies...are you sure that's not a hair replacement center... as he walks thru it he get his hair regenerated by the special lighting
"Aha ! "said men, that have always suspected baldness was caused by the Establishment.
How the hell does he keep his pant legs up like that and further more why?
It's zoom Era. Only have to look professional in the top half.
Load More Replies...Only one contestant for the sexy legs contest.?? Damn that pandemic!!! 👀😁
This one's funny! ESPECIALLY where the knee starts to become a 'hand.' Do you see 'it,' too?
Plot twist: Did Karen finally go too far this time & meet her demise? Find out next week on the final clip.
W/ℙ𝕦𝕣𝕣_𝕞𝕒𝕚𝕕 - "...final clip!" Bwah-ah-ah-ah-ah!!!! (✿◠‿◠)
Load More Replies...There is something DIRECTLY in front of my face that I’m missing… from the comments, it seems that it has something to do with her body being bent in a weird way? Can someone please explain it to me?
Her leg that's touching the ground looks like it's facing the wrong way
I thought it was that she was positioned against that pole out in front?
It looks like she's on the bus AND the pole at the same time with her leg held weird and the lady on the bus sees the same things we do 🤣🤣
this is so dead, oh wait.... the only one that's dead is the imposter
At first I thought he was on a TV screen (until I scrolled down further)
Worse endoscopy EVER. and I thought my insurance plan was horrible! 😫🥴
He's looking at the photographer wondering why his photo is being taken.
The 'HIDDEN COMFORT' they promise is impossible for the models to find.
I've heard of the "egg on your face" bit before. I guess it's "EGG-scalated" to your head> Bwah-ah-ah-ah-ah?
Good catch! But you'd rather photograph him, than help him ...
How many people have fallen from that building to require a warning sign?!?!
For those of us that wondered what happened to Twiki from Buck Roger's and the Twenty first Century...lol
I think there's a shrub (in the UK) called Golden Showers.

NO. NO WE CANNOT.
Yes, but when he gets tired, he turns upside down and keeps going. Bet you can't do that!
Load More Replies...This the mirror dimension, where I'M the boss! (Correct me if I'm wrong) *SM : NWH Spoilers*
Don't look for deep meanings ... They just feel good and they are happy with what they are doing ...
Lines that match up is a common theme. See the dress skirt where it joins the top and the black stripe on the boy's collar. They align closely with angle of the shadows.
I'm sorry madam but the X-ray says you have no bones in your legs - let me get you a chair!
i think you're looking at it backwards. that is a rear view mirror machine. she is checking out her own behind, it's just a little blurry 'cause she's wiggling it
Load More Replies...Only a woman younger than 40 would buy that. After age 40, our shirts do it for free.
Even younger why would they wear that? Why want your breasts to look like this on purpose?
Load More Replies...I'm pretty sure they're supposed to go around each other and become an "X".
From all the video games I've played, I can safely say she is going on a quest.
She's my favorite, too! She's making money from ATMs, isn't she?
Looks like you don't have to follow a complicated diet to be skinny...
So it's about her t-shirt, right? I thought she was about to drop her phone in the bin!
I think it's shot upside down and the black pants/shoes are an advertisement
Load More Replies...I see imaginary straight lines. The three 3 boats make one line. The other line is made of the camera on post, building with spire, and building with red light. If you continue those lines, they intersect roughly at the building with a blue light on top.
Do you sit on the white spots or the colored spots - guess which is most comfortable!
The white spots are tables, but not sure what I'm meant to look at. Nice pic, tho.
Load More Replies...The black triangle shadow on the ceiling appears to be reflected on the building out the window.
Chairs are obviously chairs. Tables are obviously tables. What's the catch here?
Looks like the hard wooden seats are for adults & the cushy comfortable seats for the kids. Says something about our society?
a) He's a fan of Japan b) his significant other has some big lips c)he's been cupped.
Yeah, he's been cupped. You can see some lighter, but similar marks near the collar of his shirt.
Load More Replies...It's a birthmark. It's not his fault, he couldn't influence this situation in any way, so there should be no reason to have fun because of it. There's nothing fun here, this photo shouldn't have been taken.
Because it’s shaped like Japanese flag I guess
Load More Replies...It's absolutely amazing how this guy captures aspects that no one else sees, and that no one else expects. His ability to anticipate is similar to the situation of chess players who sees more moves than others. I wonder why this guy isn't more famous. You have all my respect...
