Accidentally Wes Anderson
“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes”
My 15 minutes happened when I took and published a photo
which accidentally went viral.
This photo I took of Hotel Opera in Prague….
...
was re-shared by the ever-growing Instagram account of Accidentally Wes Anderson-
a curation of images from around the world that have the potential to be a frame in
Wes Anderson's films.
And soon became the homepage image of the original Accidentally Wes Anderson website.
The AWA Instagram account and this little pink hotel image started to receive viral recognition, and the account and my photo were published in a handful of printed and
online publications!
OCTOBER 2020
In October of 2020, the image was published in the first Accidentally Wes Anderson coffee book table, alondside a collection of other images from around the world.
It's now a New York Times best seller.
"
The photographs in this book were taken by people I have never met, of places and things I have never seen – but I must say: I intend to. There must be 200 locations here, which should keep me busy for several decades. I now understand what it means to be accidentally myself.
