A Pair of Babe-raham Lincolns


Abraham Lincoln was born 200 years ago today in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky. When he was seven years old his family moved to Spencer County, Indiana, just across the river from the newly established city of Owensboro, Kentucky. The Lincoln family lived in Indiana for 14 years before moving to Illinois. To celebrate Lincoln’s childhood, Daddy Dave did a little photo-shopping. One amazing result was how similar these two photos appear. Those of us privileged to spend ample time with Davey and Benji can easily tell them apart by skin tone, hair color, size and build. But in this exercise using just their faces, only a trained eye can distinguish them. Here one can truly appreciate their full twin-ness.
