It’s the Little Things

I’m crazy busy with work.  I’m getting caught up as quickly as I can, but it’s a slow process that involves much paperwork.

With that said, I found something I wanted to share.

I know that companies often use stock photographs to create their advertisements.  And I know they use them to create most book covers anymore, as well.  However, it’s truly bizarre to come across the same picture twice.  I mean, I’ve seen the same font a few times–fonts are different.  But pictures?  It’s odd, like two people showing up to a costume party in the same outfit.

All the same, check this out.

Weird, right? It’s the EXACT SAME PHOTO. Not just the face, but the foldy-bits down, the dirt under the finger nails, the circles under the eyes. The only thing that changed too much was the eye color.

Anyway, that’s all for now.

Have you ever found anything like this? Let me know in the comments.
