Diptych Project #2

 
Two children in one piece swim suits rest on the curved stairs of a pool. Framed by the rails on the stairs. Everything is shades of blue and beige.

Sister I. Childhood; on the verge of teen years. I witness theirs, as I hold and tend to mine. Photographed on 35mm Kodak Gold.

Two girls, sisters, lay head to head on the ledge of a pool partially submerged in water. Bright morning light strongly lights half of their face and bodies, similar to a yinyang.

Sisters II. Growing up with a sister. Part best friend, part worst enemy. Of the same womb and inextricably bonded by strands of DNA and experience. Bonds that will certainly patina with time but can never truly be broken. Photographed on 35mm Kodak Gold.

Diptych Project #1

I am trying something new. Will it stick, well I suppose we will just have to see. But for right now, this little project feels achievable and exciting. A way to dig into my existing work and get excited about creating new work.

The project. Share two photos every Monday. With a short description. Maybe two or three sentences.

And that is it. Let’s go.

A women stands bent over covering her face. It is dark and bright light shines harshly on her, casting two long shadows thaat stretch from her feet back into the darkenss.

Double Standards. A bright light shines harshly on her, casting two long shadows that stretch from her feet back into the darkeness. The heavy burden of double standards every woman must carry. Photographed on 35mm Portra 800.

A women is crouched with the blackness of night around her. A double exposure creates the look of a glowing aura surrounding her.

Aura. A glowing aura of growth and healing surrounds her. Even on this path, shrouded in a heavy darkness. She is her own source of light. Double exposure photographed on 35mm Portra 800.
