The Story of a Photograph

Photograph taken in Tunisia (see pixelatedimage.com)

By my friend David duChemin…

…who lives in Vancouver

(David is also friends with Robert…

…who lives in Toronto)

I needed a slide made, so I sent David’s photograph to my friend Daniela…

…who lives in Germany. I’ve never met Daniela in person, but oddly enough…

My sister Lynne and our friend Erin, who both live in Ontario, have met Daniela. But they didn’t meet in Canada, or in Germany…

Daniela Lynne Erin

They met in Swaziland!

So is this slide background a Canadian product, a German product, or for that matter, an African product?
