A series of fortunate events

Taking a page from Jean, an interesting chain of events (not quite a coincidence). Yesterday I forwarded my Middle East site to my cousin Hua, who sent it to Oliver. Oliver linked it from his blog and today I received the following email:

I don't know if you remember me, but anyways, I think I knew you when I was much younger back in Connecticut. I remember one time you had me on your shoulders and then we ran into a chandelier, and that's all I remember. Anyways, I kind of don't even remember what you look like, and I think my mom sent me a link to your webpage one time. But I just realized who you were. And I was reading Oliver's blog and he had a link to your site. Oliver is my professor right now during the summer at UC Berkeley. And then I just realized that you're Hua's cousin. I've been living in Boston (just graduated from Tufts University) and have been DJ-ing a little and read about hip hop, so I know who Hua is. That's crazy. Anyways, I'm sure you're busy and you may not remember who I am, but I wanted to say hello. I like your photographs! Bye! -Tom

I love the internet. And I'm really glad he sent me the message.
