Adding interest with multiple images


I've always enjoyed putting together diptychs and triptychs. These image groupings do not necessarily represent a time sequence or the beginnings of a typology, although they certainly could. Usually, for me, they are just a couple of images with interesting visual relationships. With this triptych, I tried to have the horizon at more or less the same position in the frame across the set. I enjoyed how the light and dark areas interacted between the first two images and how the shadows linked between the second and third. These were shot using a Leicaflex and 50 mm Summicron. Slowly, these old playgrounds are being replaced and upgraded.
