That is a very interesting and effective group of images.  I have seen --
and admired -- Kogan's work previously.

It is hardly fair to call these photographs "Curious Coincidences on New
York City Sidewalks."  With one or two possible exceptions, they are not
scenes that were simply there to be seen, but carefully composed images
created out of the photographer's imaginative use of interesting items he
observed and then assembled, with the use of timing and angle of view, to
create something much more that was there by "coincidence."

The photographer applied his skills to capturing images of UN-related
events that visually coincide, but if the "events" hadn't been there in
the first place ...

Maybe "juxtaposition" would be a better word, but I think "coincidence"
does work for the subject matter.

These are definitely my kinda thing - I'd loved to have captured any -
even the intentional visual jokes..

 However, the write of the article doesn't know the meaning of the word
"coincidence"  - these photos are all -ironic juxtaposition - also
sometimes called
"visual puns"  .. not really coincidences.

but what is coincidental is that you posted this the day after there was
an odd coincidence in my life relating to Mark C's Peso called Water
Music...
so list related in a way..

I wrote him off list , and sent him the link to one of the items I'm
selling on my creative Photo calendars site (and it is on cafepress
marketplace too)
some of you have seen it.. but the link I sent Mark was directly to the
individual listing. The item is a t-shirt with the notation of the first
bar or two of Handel's "Water Music" as a design with the quote "I go
for baroque" worked in to it.    Mark quipped back a bit later showing
he recognized what it was.

A few hours later I was checking my reports on my STORE on CPC and at
the top of the list of items sold was the very T-shirt I sent Mark the
link to.
In (gasp) a size 3xL   Naturally, I wrote to him "Coincidence or...?" 
wondering if he had a large friend who liked Handel or had grown a lot
himself.

Nope- neither were true.  Now THAT is a coincidence !  All I know is
that the person who ordered it was no one I know either - one Barbara F.
Coincidence and mystery..

and likewise you posting an article titled "coincidence" just after this
happened and directing it to me.  what fun!
