Continuous shutter, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

But no, I thought, considering this post. This is not so much about a series of shots. This is more of the afterthought of presentation--this is about the much-adored diptych, or whatever you'd call it with more than two.

And so naturally, I hit flickr up for inspiration. And what I found there was far beyond my little ocean-going, baby-in-hand experiment--what I found there was thematic, conceptual. Diptych done not for the purpose of function (stringing the above together as a diptych is a big ol' DUH) but done for fashion, for art.

And so I offer up this humble series with a plea: show me your less obvious diptychs. Show me relationships between subjects that are about more than just sequence--show me push-and-pull angles, colour contrast, echoing shapes, macro versus landscape, portrait-by-bodyparts. Or even a self-portrait. Now there's an idea...

Psst... want to see a real n-tych master (a.k.a. someone who knows what to call diptychs of two-plus)? Check out Tonya's set here. Fashion gold.
