Twins!

twins
I went to the Twinsburg, Ohio Twins Days Festival.
Lots of twins, lots of matching outfits, and a few scientific research booths looking to pay the twins $150 for medical research.

Going to the festival, I felt in touch with what Diane Arbus must have felt. Am I creating documentation? Am I "outing" the strange? Or am I learning something new about my self, and about my mother (whom is a twin actually). Obviously when looking at these images, an immediate visual comparison ensues. What is it like to have a living mirror, a clone? What are the similarities, what are the differences?
