I have to say that I really enjoyed working with an SLR again. It had been a while since I had last used one. I was using a borrowed camera and was unfamiliar with it at first. Fortunately, I was able to get at least a few usable slides out of my roll. I really enjoyed shooting color slide film, which was a first. The film really makes color pop, adding another dimension to the picture taking process.
The actual diptychs were a great framework to work with. It would have been interesting to see what the results would have been if I had done my scanograms first. It would have created some more focused slides since I would have had my scans in mind while shooting. Either way though the diptych format really challenged me to create dialogue on one or more levels between my images. I would consider these pieces successful if I forced the viewer to at least instantaneously consider the relationship between the images.
