(Submitted<\/strong> by friend of the blog, Brian Hart<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

I<\/strong> went to an art opening being held in\u00a0Santa Monica,\u00a0California’s Bergamot Station.\u00a0\u00a0One of the many galleries there had an exhibit called\u00a0Just Occupy,<\/em>\u00a0which featured 3 artists’ representation of last year’s\u00a0Occupy Los Angeles\u00a0<\/em>movement.\u00a0\u00a0One of the artists was Ted Soqui, who had photographed a lot of the participants.<\/p>\n

One<\/strong> picture in the exhibit that particularly struck me as amusing, was that of a man in a Guy Fawkes mask, relaxing on the sidewalk. \u00a0Since my friend, Paula, had attended Occupy Los Angeles, I thought about her, took a picture with my phone, and then e-mailed it immediately to her.<\/p>\n

When<\/strong> I checked my mail several hours later, I heard back from Paula.\u00a0\u00a0She told me that not only was she there that night, but she had seen the photographer take that very picture with his high-end camera and had photographed the subject herself, seconds later!<\/p>\n
