Doppelganger

It's always interesting when I take a photograph and then run across it done by someone else. It doesn't happen often, but it's startling when it happens.

I took this image on the Pueblo World Tour in 2006 with the Amerind Foundation:



Last Saturday I attended the Native Voices gathering at the Amerind and bought Laura Tohe's book, "Tseyi". On page 16 there is one of Steven Strom's photographs, taken during winter ... certainly framed a little differently, but unmistakably the same subject matter. We must have stood within five feet of each other, the perspectives are that close.

Of course, one must pay $250.00 for a limited edition print of Strom's image. I'd happily sell prints of mine for something less.
