Subconscious plagiarism

When I took this photograph I knew it reminded me of something.

The other day I found a catalogue from an André Kertész exhibition from a long time ago and looked through it. There it was - a photograph of two heads staring out of a window.

Had the Kertész been stored away in my memory and somehow prompted me to take the photograph when I saw the heads in the window? Hard to say. I do think that we ape images we have seen long ago far more often than we realise.
