Main Entry: dip·tych"Diptychs and triptychs are a brilliant tool for photographic storytelling. They present two or three images which can be from the same session or they can be polar opposites to show opposition or contrasting ideas."
Pronunciation: \?dip-(?)tik\
Etymology: Late Latin diptycha, plural, from Greek, from neuter plural of diptychos folded in two, from di- + ptych? fold
Date: 1622
1 : a 2-leaved hinged tablet folding together to protect writing on its waxed surfaces
2 : a picture or series of pictures (as an altarpiece) painted or carved on two hinged tablets
3 : a work made up of two matching parts
I have so many photos from last weekend, and it occurred to me to present some of them as diptychs. Of course, I have since been carried away with the notion, So here are a few with a nearer and farther theme. You have seen some of the single photos in the previous post.

thanks for the new word (well, i've heard it before, but i'll try to remember it this time.) :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the 3rd set. really wonderful.
My favorites are the old buildings. The color and perspective is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThey do work well.
ReplyDeleteI like the opposite concept. Yin and Yang you might also say...:)
ReplyDeleteI recommend that you put a book together, AC, with your ideas for how to show photos at their best.
ReplyDeleteIn this group I love the last one with the door latch.
I think I know exactly how that rickety shed feels! LOL. The 'Figure Crouching' photo looks like an old Dutch master painting - so atmospheric. You do have an eye for such shots...
ReplyDeleteOh, the golden set is beautiful. I can just make up all kinds of stories about that one.
ReplyDeleteAnd the first set (of yours truly) is great as well. Good thing you said who was who though: you looked quite similar.
Very neat idea. I like them all but especially like the diptych of Brain at Robinson Lake.
ReplyDeleteooh, particularly like the 3.
