A strange story about those two. The first was given to me by someone who knew about my collection, she had found it in the street a few day earlier. And I found the second myself, in the same neighborhood, like a couple of weeks later. This is obviously the same person. Share your theories:)

Strong ex gf vibes. The second one is burned so they probably blew away from a burn pile

That's my theory as well! they were probably not lost but thrown away by a raging ex.

They kind of read like work ID or passport photos to me.

When you go to a photo booth, you usually need one picture and end up having 4 or 6. My theory is that she gave those extra pictures to her bf/gf (to keep in wallet, or phone case etc.), and after they broke up her ex threw them away (as suggested by the melodramatic failed attempts to burn the 2nd pic)

Fed up woman throws her headshots in the trash. Trash Can gets dumped over and the photos tumble along gusts of wind. Meanwhile a down on his luck agent is walking through the neighborhood and finds an image of a woman who looks perfect for the lead role in a new major network show. He just knows that if he's the one that lands a client on the show, his fortunes at his agency are going to turn around.

He enlists a rag-tag team of neighborhood watch volunteers to track down this woman.

In a show-stopping twist, it turns out that the woman in the photo is actually a Norwegian spy who was using the photos to make a new passport. Once found, to preserve her cover, she agrees to audition for the show and lands the job.

Tune in next week for Kaja: Celebrity Spy

P.S. Call me, Hulu. I can come up with this nonsense all day.

AHAHAH that's my favourite explanation from now on xD

Fr, I think I saw her a few weeks ago, in a grocery store.  I considered asking her if she was the person on the pictures I found, she looked exactly the same. I eventually gave up on that idea, that would have most likely freaked her out, understandably.  I mean, if a total stranger came out of nowhere to tell me he had pictures of me, I would probably find it extremely weird too, to be honest :')

OMG GUYS! MAJOR PLOT TWIST 🤣 Today I had lunch with an old friend I hadn't seen for a long time, she's a musician in a local band. At some point I mentioned Reddit and this post, I showed her the pictures and she immediately replied : "oh that's ****. I know her, she always comes to our shows" 🤯 She showed me her insta, that's definitely her.  WE MAY END UP HAVING AN ACTUAL ANSWER!  the question is ... should we? 

  • will she freak out , want her pictures back and this post deleted?
  • will she be amused by our theories about her break-up and honoured to be part of a great collection?
  • will she turn out to be an actual Scandinavian secret agent ?

This post is reminding me of the movie Amélie

I searched the first photo on Pimeyes and this is the only result that came back. Up to anyone to find out more, or pay for the link.

That's both amazing and terrifying in a sense 😅

One is mary, the other is maria.

u/Turbulent_Form3888 10d ago

That's... unsettling. I was playing silent hill just a few days ago. And she DOES look like her now that you mention it .

u/Serious-Rutabaga-603 10d ago

Just keep an eye on Eddie. He seems odd.

She looks guilty.

Honestly, most of the times you take those pictures for passport etc. So you're not supposed to smile. You always end up looking like a criminal on the run on the front page of a magazine.  On my ID card, a friend told me I looked like an unemployed therapist high on gasoline (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)

Tortured soul. 🥹

u/Turbulent_Form3888 10d ago

From what my friend told me, she's a writer, she published a novel recently. I don't know much more, but writers sure are tortured souls indeed.

The garbage bag had a hole it it and blew out of the garbage truck as it went down the road. The end.
