Confectioner Yorran Salomão, was on his way to buy ingredients for making cakes, when he saw a vehicle with the Google Maps Street View logo and immediately thought “I need to be in the photos”.
And that's when he had the creative idea of chasing the car with his bike to get out in the photos of the street view.
And it turned out that all that effort actually worked, he actually came out in the pictures. You can spot Yorran by entering the address “Alameda Tiradentes, 2588, Castanhal” in Google Maps search.
What the boy said about the story:
Yorran Salomão said in an interview the following: “I went down the first street, went to the second, walked behind him for about five streets, praying for the traffic light to stop and for me to do some poses, but no it gave".
Yorran only gave up on his mission to strike a pose for the photo, because the battery on his electric bike was low and he would need to start pedaling. He reported: "It is very heavy when unloading and then I gave up on fifth street."
This event took place in October 2022, but he ended up forgetting to post what happened on his social media.
Only on the 27th of February did he see the records. Because he had to look for a workshop to fix the bicycle tire that he had punctured. And then he noticed that the street was paved on Google Maps and that it was recent.
When he saw that he was in the photos, he said the following: “I wanted to do something unusual, hold a cake or lie down on the floor to appear, it would be just like me”.
After the surprise of having actually appeared in the photos, the pastry chef decided to publish a video on his profile on TikTok and currently has more than 700,000 views, in addition to 3,500 comments.
