What is a Diptych? A diptych is a photograph that uses two different or identical images side by side to form one single artistic statement to either tell a story or perhaps show more than one facet of an object, place or person. The two images can literally be in contact with each other, or separated by a border or frame. If an image can  speak a thousand words, then can two or more (Triptych) be better than one?

In For The Landing

I captured these pictures of a Monarch coming in for a landing while walking around an RV park in Laughlin Nevada on 10/16/2011. (Click picture to enlarge)

Blue Agapanthus (Agapanthus praecox)

08/08/2011 – I captured these pictures at the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens summer exhibit entitled, “2011 Summer Garden”, inside the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Description: Agapanthus (The genus name agapanthus means flower of love which is derived from the Greek word ‘agape’, meaning love, and ‘anthos’, meaning flower), commonly called African Lily, African Blue Lily, Blue Lily, Lily of the Nile, and Flower of Love. Agapanthus is a genus of herbaceous perennials that mostly bloom in summer. Its leaves are basal and curved, linear, and up to 24 inches long. They are arranged in two rows. The inflorescence is a pseudo-umbel subtended by two large bracts at the apex of a long, erect scape, up to 6 feet tall. They have a 8 inch globular flower head with funnel-shaped flowers, in hues of blue to purple, shading to white.

The Ferris Wheel

08/08/2011 – I captured these pictures of the 40-foot tall 1922 Ferris wheel  at the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens summer exhibit entitled, “2011 Summer Garden”, inside the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Please note that I have created a “new” category for these types of photos entitled, “Diptychs”, where I hope to be adding many more in the future.
