Anna and I Make a Face

Last week I discovered an amazing project called Genetic Portraits on the fantastic art blog My Modern Met. Graphic designer Ulric Collette took portraits of two members of the same family, split them down the middle, and combined them. The results display the eerie genetic similarities and differences between family members. For example, here is a split portrait of a 56-year-old father and his 29-year-old-son:


Of course you know what I had to do. A few minutes after I sent a link to the project to my brilliant photographic artist wife, she had combined two photos of my sister Anna and me from my blog post showcasing our silly faces. Here is the creepy-cool result:


I don't think anything has ever simultaneously made me smile and given me the jibblies as much as this.
