That's weird. The extreme bias towards individuals in the same pose make me think the pairs were found computationally. Could have been done by hand, but I'd expect much, much more variety.
These people on their daily commute reminded me of the work of Ritzo Ten Cate, called "Caught in the App" [0]. The photos of 'phone zombies' walking the street are indicative how much and how quickly society has changed under the influence of our tech devices. On the Dutch website [1] are some more pictures and link to a TEDx talk Ritzo gave on the art campaign.
Quite interesting project. I find the topic of street photography interesting as well as many people don't realise that in most places they have no right to privacy in public, also that they use this power themselves even when taking their own photos (there are still people in the background).
Just picked up a Pentax 67ii as well - digital cameras are great for capturing must have moments but recently I've found there's something about film that makes me slow down and enjoy each shot so much more. I still have my phone for quick shots at the end of the day.
I live in a somewhat small community (~25k) and I commuted into the city on public transportation for about 15 years. 10 years ago, I started working from home full-time.
I often see the people I used to commute with around town. I recognize them and remember them, but I’ve never had any interactions with them.
When I see them, I’m surprised by how much older they look. Then I realize I must look older to them.

In each pair, the photos may be years apart!
What I find most fascinating is how consistent the photographed individuals are, in their demeanor and style, over time.

Too many people have the exact same clothes, the same hairstyle, same accessories, and none seem to be aged 9 years
