Life Imitates Art

While looking for a feature photograph from a juke box and antiques show, I spotted this man standing next to a slot machine that bears his likeness. I managed to get about three shots off before he changed his posture. He gladly gave me his name and I explained why I just took his photograph. This image still makes me smile.

They could be twins. Such an exciting find, and so well presented!
