I wonder if the copy is intentional or it just happens to be ... I have a hard time to believe that an artist would copy the work of another artist in a consistent manner ... one image or two, yes, but not the whole body of work ... art is just too personal to become an intentional copy. Best Miguel Hi David,

I read your post on the Kenna clones … quite intriguing … I wonder if the copy is intentional or it just happens to be … I have a hard time to believe that an artist would copy the work of another artist in a consistent manner … one image or two, yes, but not the whole body of work … art is just too personal to become an intentional copy.

Best

Then he shows images from that session that he likes and they are pictures of the bear paparazzi standing around trying to get that same shot.

Photos of Moulton Barn in Grand Teton NP come to mind as a very similar situation (not saying there aren't countless others). That's what you get when nobody bothers or dares to walk more than 50m from their car.

Only about a gazillion of these exact same snaps on Flick. Coincidence? Hardly. Herd instinct? Definitely. As to the sales? Well, that was then and this is digital now. Move over Mr. Original. Joe Schmo is here, ready to give his crap away for a credit, or less. Yup, one spot, one waterfall, countless photographers making the same image, day after day, every year, as long as the fish run.

Take Kenna's still water images or Adams images in Yosmite or Wyoming, etc. I think that we can still photograph that similar image so we get it out of our (visual memory) system, but then that should provide the freedom to explore the situation furhter and extract more from it. Some will, some won't.

It's not surprising that they would look similar.
