Question - 627

Identify the photograph, the photographer and a particularly famous homage to this picture.

Answer: Identical twins by Diane Arbus. The homage I had in mind is the eerie scene from Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" where the twins stand in an identical pose and invite Danny to play with them. Kamanasish, Saket, Krithi, Matti, Siddarth Pai, Raghu, Mekie, Divya, Jamie and Iam got it. Well done.
