Evolution of my thoughts on twins, H. and S. Simpson
I used to have a theory that twins were always a bit "off" because they grow up in their own insular twin world and do not learn properly to relate to the world as a distinct and individual person, that they suffer from never truly experiencing the loneliness and helplessness of early childhood. I now realize that twins seem a little off because they are infinitely cooler than me and I have no way of understanding their awesome nature.

Great photo. I love the colors and tones. My younger brother and sister are twins. I wouldn't be able to say "all" twins are alike and have that connection that most people seem to think they have. My younger brother and sister no longer speak to each other. And haven't for some time now. My brother has always despised the fact that he was a twin and blames his twin for him being "smaller" in size because she "used up half of his amniotic fluid". :)~

Very nice composition and commentary on twins. I think each twin can be their own person, depending on the person. Though I have met several twins also that seem a bit 'off' as you say :-) ...on a side note... ewww, is that a Dell? ;-)

Great shot ... love the expressions, especially on the girl in the forground. Great idea to do a project about twins. I am not a twin, but one of my brothers is very close in age, and we often acted like twins, looked like it as babies, too.

My older brothers were twins, but one was killed in an auto accident with a log from a logging truck. Now my one remaining brother says, "Well, I WAS a twin." It's sad, indeed. They had their own language, and my Mom had to break that up fast before they became, in her words "very, very dysfunctional." It was creepy, those two looking alike, plus my Dad named them Don and Ron, so that even if you could tell them apart, you'd STILL screw up the damn names.
