It's one of modern photography's most recognizable images. Two sets of eyes staring out at the viewer from a black-and-white photo. The eyes belong to twin sisters who are identical but not the same. As NPR's Madeleine Brand describes the Diane Arbus' famous photo, it's "a portrait of two little girls -- maybe they're seven or eight years old. They're wearing matching outfits: white tights, corduroy dresses, and thick white headbands in their dark hair. The girls stand shoulder-to-shoulder, their light eyes looking straight into the camera -- straight at us. And the more you look back at them -- the more you stare -- the more you realize how different they are from each other." The photo is the subject of the latest segment in NPR's Present at the Creation series about American cultural icons, airing on Morning Edition.
