I could imagine Ralph Gibson taking this.

Thanks, Steve. I've always admired Gibson's sense of editing and in Quadrants the idea of shooting with a Summicron-DR, close range, and printing 16x20 so that the photograph was close to actual size. He would take my Car Wash and shoot it vertically. He coined the idea lately of "the vertical horizon." Ha, ha. Here's a sort of homage that's similar to one of his shots in Mono (all vertical shots with his Monochrom).

Hi Rog,

I remember RG saying something along the following lines:

Photography is an abstraction being a 2D representation of reality, B&W adds further abstraction (generally speaking) and vertical framing yet further since we see in landscape due to the position of our eyes.

You have a mind like a steel trap! And since he thinks, for the most part, in terms of publishing, he says in one of his videos that he lays out the images in diptychs (recto and verso pages) but even goes beyond that, thinking in terms of four, six, or eight images. It becomes kind of like a Chris Marker film of abstract images the viewer assembles. It occurs to me when he joins two vertical images of facing pages, it approaches landscape (3x4, two vertical 35mm images).

I like it: two vertical 35mm negs forming a landscape!

Amoungst my not too modest collection of cameras (more film than digital actually) I have a Pen FT, and although the designer conceived it as a film sparing solution, it’s really at home in the diptychs through panatychs world of photography.

To my shame there’s a role of film in it, and has been in it for over 12months. 😳

You are absolutely right about diptychs with the Olympus Pen FT. I recall a photographer whose name escapes me that shot the Pen FT, almost randomly letting the diptychs emerge by happenstance. His work was published, and I tried searching the internet for it but have drawn only a blank, so far. It may be in one of my issues of Art Forum. For the most part, I discounted his work as little more than "chance photography," although I suppose it hangs together given his unique perspective. I did see online many Pen FT examples demonstrating a filmic flavor, long shot followed by a closer angle. I didn't any attempt at montage, dissimilar shots that create a narrative. Anyway, it's interesting you bring up the Pen FT diptych heritage.
