A little short on words today, but I’m not gonna let that stop me from posting.

Diptych Project #11

This project got lost in the chaos of summer, which was actually fine and perfect. But now, as a bit of routine returns to our days, it feels like a perfect time to pick it up back up again. I love how it invites me to look at my work in a new way, in pairs. And that it reminds me to share instead of hoarding all the photos on the hard drives that sit in the rubbermaid container at the end of our dining room table (my temporary office going on 3 years).

I wanted to start things off again with some photos of the girls. To honour their shift into new grades, and for Audrey a brand new school in town.

**THRESHOLD IN A GHOST TOWN.** A window to the past and steps to the future. Photographed on Portra400. Developed and scanned in my kitchen.

**LAST CHANCE SALOON.** Cross eleven bridges and you just might find yourself at the Last Chance Saloon. Deep in the heart of the Albertan Badlands. Photographed on Portra400. Developed and scanned in my kitchen.

Diptych Project #8

Film photograph of two sisters, 9 and 10. Their eyes are closed and the sun shines brightly on their faces. One girl faces the camera and the other , slightly in front faces to the side. Photographed on medium format film using a vintage TLR camera — **SAME BUT DIFFERENT.** Same family. Same genetics. Same home. Different directions. Different motives. Different gifts. Photographed on Kodak Gold (and the first home scans that made me feel like I was really starting to get the process dialled in)

A girl swings from a tree whose trunk veers hard to the left before turning upwards again. Her sister sits on a rock at the base of a tree watching. Photographed on a vintage Twin Lens Reflex Camera using medium format film. — **SAME BUT DIFFERENT II**. In our yard is a crooked tree. The way it grows nearly horizontal in the middle is our favourite part about it. The crooked bit perfectly holds the swing everyone loves to rest on. After the bend it continues growing straight upwards like all the trees around it. But it’s not like every tree around it. Photographed on Kodak Gold.
