RE:
Dear Reader,
This is a special online edition of the Random
Encounters community, featuring the
photography of its members. With this issue we
wanted to put a well-deserved spotlight on one
of the most potent, most creative photographic
groups of Google Plus.
Through the images, reproduced in this issue, we
wanted to celebrate the spirit of fellowship and
inspiration this community promotes.
Most of all, we wanted to celebrate enthusiastic
people, artists, photographers, from all around
the world, who gathered together to create art.
Random Encounters is unique, and we are happy
to share the results of such unique online
collaboration with you.
Whether you are a photographer, an artist or a
fan, you will not be disappointed: RE has to offer
“all genres, all emotions”, in a variety of media
and styles. We hope you like what we are so
incredibly proud to present.
The 2014 selection was made by RE moderators,
and should you be interested in seeing more, or
consider joining this creative group, you are
always welcome . You can find us on Google Plus.
