On a little road trip this weekend, Emily and I listened to a recent "This American Life" about coincidences. And we had a weird sort of coincidence on the trip. After visiting with some friends (perhaps more on that later), we swung by Grounds for Sculpture, which was founded by and and has lots of pieces by J. Seward Johnson. Now these are really kitchy sculptures which would typically would probably make me hyperventilate But -- by coincidence -- I was playing throughout the trip with panorama shots on my new carcinogenic iphone 17, will hopefully be posting more soon on flickr or tumblr. But the coincidental kicker was coming across "Luncheon of the Boating Party," as the panorama shot allowed us to get multiple Emilys in the shot -- so because I had the new gizmo, I was able to enjoy a piece I'd ordinarily have not. "No coincidence, no story."
