<p>Ton, in answer to your last remark: perhaps I should have given a better explanation why I posted the four pictures above. The first two are examples of a person in a surroundings that acts as a kind of stage. Someone enters, and at the right moment/composition you can take a picture. I think HCB's picture of the girl running up the stairs in a Greek village might be an example of this or his man jumping a puddle.</p>

<p>The second two are examples of two occurrences at the same time, mirroring each other in some way. These are truly coincidences. HCB's portrait of Giacometti mirroring one of his own statues might also be an example, or the other Marc's two pictures.</p>

<p>I would argue that the first kind of picture lends itself better to influencing the serendipity, since you can anticipate that something interesting might happen "on stage" and you may even lie in wait for such an occurrence. The second kind requires <em>two </em> occurrences, which is much less likely to happen (no one would wait for a schoolbus to park next to a stripclub). You cannot wait for something like this to happen but you really have to be lucky and aware of your luck. I think part of HCB's excellence was in his awareness of such coincidences.</p>
