A mirror offers 2-year-old conjoined Egyptian twin Mohamed Ibrahim the only glimpse of his brother Ahmed. The twins touch each other, grab hands and sometimes slap each other, but have never looked into each other's eyes. The boys, born joined at the head, traveled from Egypt to Dallas in June 2002, the first stage of a long journey toward separate lives. Photographed on April 27, 2003, the night before the skin expansion surgery at Medical City hospital in Dallas, where they will live until the time of separation surgery.
