eerie?
i snapped the below picture at the airport t stop one day after my guitar lesson with the turkish tornado and self-proclaimed turkish spider-man (long overdue post on him soon).the picture is of a photograph from the 1920's of three boys sitting on a bench along a path in an old boston park. the scene runs along one of the walls of the subway platform, and it caught my eye as i waited for my train.
what grabbed my attention was the little guy in the middle. the kid looks remarkably similar to what i looked like at his age. here was a little me, circa 1926.
the coincidences didn't end there. to the kid's left is a boy that looks like a young scott. it's not even a stretch. and to the kid's right is a boy who, upon close inspection and with perhaps a TAD stretch in light of the bushy-lookin eyebrows and cleft chin, could pass for a young justin.
am i going out on a limb? can YOU see it?
[update: the pic was taken in 1910. the setting is belmont park.]

that's really awesome and makes me very happy
uncanny and wonderful
What's even eerier is that the kid who looks like you looks like he has just told the other kids than he is planning on buying my old Boss chorus pedal.
The other two are kind of mad that they didn't get the chance.
