The Story Behind the Platteland Twins Photograph: "I was driving around a town in the Western Transvaal in 1993 with my wife and children looking for photographs. Upon turning into a street, I noticed what I believed to be an interesting subject working in the garden. I stopped and asked Dresie if I could photograph him. He walked to the verandah of his where his mother and sister were sitting. I asked them for permission to photograph Dresie. As I lifted my camera to photograph Dresie against the verandah wall, a shadow appeared from behind. As I turned my head Dresie’s twin brother Casie appeared. His shirt was clean, as unlike Dresie, he worked inside the house." ~ Ballen

I guess there is no off-topic on this thread.

These guys show similar but opposite features (squinted eye, larger nostril, etc.) My twin daughters also have exact opposite features, although more subtle (and prettier!!). Teeth came in and fell out in opposite manners from each other, eye dominance (for shooting), etc.

Heh - a quick google search brought up the term “mirror twins”. They can even have similar finger prints (which my girls do - found that out as they signed in to the orthodontist one day!)

There is no off-topic on this thread. We lost the Topic when I had only seven children!

The one on the left has a nice wristwatch.
