doppelgänger - a ghostly double or counterpart of a living person.

​

Ever come across two persons who look so alike yet completely unrelated?

​

After years of taking photos, I finally realized I have repeated others' work without even subconsciously aware of the fact that I could have seen them before. Simply put, infringement.

​

Today, we could have used euphemistic phrases like secondary creation, tribute to a master, modern adaptation to shed the blame or escape from any embarrassment.

 

Yet, the realization only proves one is getting experienced and more concerned on originality.
