Look Alikes: Actresses

I do start noticing in the film industry that actresses often have similar looks.
Zoe DeChanel (USA) and Emily Blunt (UK)
Kiera Knightley (UK) and Katie McGrath (UK)
 
Carey Mulligan (UK) and Michelle Williams (USA)
Uma Thurman (USA) and Sarah Polley (Canada)

Look Alikes: Flags of the World

Look-alikes: flags of the world and the brick wall outside my art studio.

Look Alikes: Life Mimics Art

Andrew Wyeth's "Christina's World" where a crippled girl looks at the impossibly far house on the distant hill. My 2 year old nephew lies in the snow in the park after an exhausting snow/sledding half-hour. The only way he can make it back home is to sit on the sled and be pulled.

Look Alikes: Art Studio Collectives

Bloc Projects & AWOL Gallery and Studios

I thought this was quite a coincidence that the studios I was involved with in both Toronto, Canada, and Sheffield, UK had such similar logos. What is up with the see-through houses?

Look-Alikes: Playmobil Art

I couldn't believe it when two art publications came out similtaneously in South Yorkshire with Playmobil figures featuring in art pieces on the covers. It turns out they are the same art group. But then there was this by Kirsten Johnson...

Look-Alikes: Sheffield City Centre

Last week in the city centre a huge military event took place. The scrolls of the city were being transferred from one corp to another. There were tanks, a parade, a marching band, and mounted police. This week there is a fair. These pictures were shot when the farris wheel was going up but before the international fair arrived. There is fudge to buy everywhere.

Look Alikes: A New Chapter

I love look-alikes and I am going to take it a step further. In my travels is it common for me to see people that look like other people I know from a different country. I also am always fascinated when people tell me that I remind them of someone or look just like their friend in Iceland. I am always noticing a Malawian look-alike of a cousin, or an English look-alike of a friend. The similarities cross ethnic boundaries as well. I have met the South African look-alike of a Canadian Chinese friend, and so on. It becomes a bit more awkward to try to photograph strangers, but I will do my best.

My cousin's wife, Carol, and my friend's partner, Cher. (I saw my friend had baby pictures on Facebook and having never met his partner, I found pictures of her on-line and was shocked at the resemblance to my cousin. Both Carol and Cher are from Eastern Canada, but do not have the same last name or each other as friend on Facebook. Wouldn't that be a small world?)

Look Alikes: Drain

Even in Morocco there are look-alikes to be found...

Bathroom drain in Marrakesh, Morocco & a retro Viewfinder reel.

Thanks to Aref-Adib for the look-alike invention.

Look-Alikes: Spongy Sweets

Licorice All Sorts Candy & a package of sponges.

My First Look-Alike

Okay, here is my look-alike.

Hugh Grant (actor) and Ira Glass ( host of This American Life on Public Radio International)

A New Blog

I have gleefully discovered a new blog. Someone else who sees patterns in things. Here are a few of his look-alikes. Click on Aref-Adib.com or go to my links on the side panel.

Something Rings a Bell

These photos of the dock remind me of a painter. I can't for the life of me remember who it is. Anyone? (send me a link if you think you know)
