Tell the Story with Two

I love the way two photos presented side by side in a diptych can tell the story of a moment. No explanation is needed to describe the scene when it's presented this way. Whether they are digitally merged in one file, or framed together, there's something so fun about displaying photos this way.

So do you have two photos that simply tell us a story? Show us what you've got by leaving a link in the comments.

i love playing with dips... sometimes it is hard to tell a story in one frame & sometimes it is just magical to put two different or complimentary pieces together (3191 or two chicks two clicks...)

i shared these two with ss one word:

i guess no explanation needed, since the pictures should speak for themselves...? :)

I love putting two images together to tell a story. Here's one that I recently put together.

I love how putting two images together makes them more than the sum of their parts... somehow. More is more!

There are some really great photos shared! Here's mine, a quick story of my Friday after work. I think you might want to see more than just the two photos though. So maybe mine's just a peak at a story! Click on the photo for a closer view :)

My deployed husband and I sent photos to each other this afternoon via our phones. When I saw them side by side, I realized we both took pictures of our restful moments today.
