I love this only because I didn't know about the Diana and Marvin album and I'm downloading it right now. Looks amazing.

As for the post, I like the 'eh, close enough' feel, what with clothes not matching and people at work. Feels like the photographer was carrying the album covers around all day waiting for a match.

The amazing thing is that the person behind the Low cover is Tilda Swinton!

Mind blown, right?

Very well done! An unrelated but happy coincidence. I couldn't come up with Nina Simone's name the other day so thank you twice for posting this.
