Great movie but questions


I saw this movie a year after it came out but I have a question which has been on my mind ever since then..

When Lola runs into some people when running and you hear the camera taking pictures are those just to be like "What if?" I don't understand it.

The text says "and then" ... Dunno what it means.

The movie shows 3 different scenarios. The differences between the 3 all start with the animated sequence at the beginning (with the dog in the staircase). Because that scene changes, the scenario changes (and most likely also because of Lola's subconscious knowledge of the previous scenarios). The pictures show what happens to those people after their interaction with Lola for each scenario. Every small thing could change their lives and destiny, it's called the Butterfly Effect.
