Photo Essay

Diptych

Dipstick|Diptych

A diptych is a photograph that uses two different or identical images side by side to form one single artistic statement. The two images can literally be in contact with each other, or separated by a border or frame. [wikipedia]

Just my way of thanking JPG for changing their photography guidelines and allowing diptych photos. It's been fun rummaging through my old photos and using Canon PhotoStudio to stitch, stitch, stitch away.

You can see all my diptychs at my flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ride0583/sets/72157622609743006/

Woo hoo.

    You really started something, John. It does allow you to make your statement much more effectively. I could not have posted my "American West -- Which Way?" without this technique, and I was following your lead.
