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.
