I learned yesterday from Dan it’s pronounced “dip-tick”, not “dip-titch”. In any case, a diptych is a pair of photos or paintings which complement each other in some way. That is, add something to each other. Diptychs were the theme of this year’s Photogroffee, and to that end, after loading up on caffeine, we set out to Malahat to investigate the old cement factory in Bamberton.
But, shortly after arriving we were told — in not so few words — to leave before charges were pressed. And so, we left, locationless. We found our way to Shawnigan Lake, and after enjoying some delicious soup at a local cafe, we discovered the perfect location was right under our collective nose. We just needed to look closer 🙂
The actual diptyches (dipti?) I took can be found here.
Here are some “metagroffee” shots 🙂
