A Series of Unfortunate Events, Micheal Wolf

I really appreciate the dedication Mr. Wolf put into finding just the right image to photograph.

Wolf spent literally hundreds of hours at his computer, trolling virtually around the world, looking for anything weird or bizarre that had been captured by the ravenous cameras mounted on the top of Google’s special GPS-coordinated Street View camera vans.

I also appreciate the random aspect of the series.

There is some magical and mystery to this project.
