UNCANNY RESEMBLANCES

Some of the pictures I own display an uncanny resemblance to photos taken by famous photographers and the art of famous painters. This is a piece created so the viewer can ponder the coincidences within an educational point of view. In some cases, the pictures were taken years before the famous photos. 


This is posted under "fair use" for the purpose of commentary and criticism.


Credit is given to the celebrated photographers and artists of the images in the comparisons. 


I realize some of the old photos are blurry. But I do not want them to be evaluated in terms of how clear the images are, but rather to be viewed as hazy photos in the way time itself fades away and becomes dim. Hence, a"blurry aesthetic."


There is a photo that shows a "joker" who saw remains in 1939 on the side of the road and created an almost offensive and shocking photo around the object because that was who she was. 


And that is what makes the curated collection of photos in this blog piece unique and I hope remarkable. I included my authentic pictures because I wanted to go with truth...

Puerto Rico, you lovely island

The view from my room at the La Concha Hotel:



This is me waving from the balcony of the hotel:

This is me on the beach:

This is my sister in front of the hotel:

And not much has changed regarding the entrance to the hotel 
where she stood so long ago:
