The Mystery Of The Two Maria’s: If One Maria Is Great, Would Two Be Better? Something Invisible Took This Photo

by Jon Katz

One Maria is pretty neat, but the idea of two Maria’s frightens me a bit. I could never keep up with all of that energy and creativity. I took a photo that I thought was Maria coming across the grass after doing morning chores, but when I looked at the computer, there were two Marias, one walking right after the other. I think my Iphone had a spasm, the Leica would have shut down.

Life is full of surprises and oddities; I love these curious little miracles. I hit the trigger too fast, but I’ll probably never know. I’ll print this one out and hang it on my office wall. Two Maria’s has to be even better than one…but still. I think I’d wear out or implode.

The two Maria’s would probably implode. There’s a message here, but I don’t know what it is.

  1. Actually, the Maria in back looks like two Marias, like Siamese twins. What a great thing your camera did for you. A gift.

  2. I’m so confused about why nothing else got doubled, and why Maria’s head shows that “stuttering”from movement while her legs don’t. I’m only half talking tongue in cheek when I wonder if you caught a doppelganger. I’m not sure if I really believe in them, but this photo has so many odd things about it .
