Accidentally Wes Anderson
By Wally and Amanda Koval
“You know it when you see it,” says the book’s author Wally Koval of the immediately identifiable style. Brooklyn-based Koval is the founder of the Accidentally Wes Anderson project, which began “on a whim”, as a “personal travel bucket list” of places that he and his wife – and partner in the project – Amanda wanted to one day explore. He began to realize that all of these real places around the world had something in common – they all looked like “accidental captures” from one of Anderson’s movies.

"I think the fact that these ‘bigger than life’ locations can be found in our everyday is pretty incredible" – Wally Koval Koval started to post pictures of these real-life scenes on Instagram, along with a snippet of information or an anecdote about each one, always including in the post the hashtag ‘AccidentallyWesAnderson’. He soon found that others joined him by using the same hashtag, and the community rapidly grew. “The handful of people that found it early on became kind of like a travel ‘book club’ of sorts – we would share interesting facts about locations we had travelled to, and we have tried to maintain that to this day.”
