Photo Duo by Men and Women of Industry
First released in 1959, the Olympus Pen half frame camera has become somewhat of a cult item for photographers today. By using the half-frame format, Olympus was able to reduce both the weight and size of the camera, and create twice as many exposures on a single roll of film. This also allowed the photographer to create diptychs, combining two images into one.
The video below gives a history of the original Pen cameras (bare with the casio keyboard soundtrack and robot narration).
Our friends and fellow bloggers Men and Women of Industry just released an amazing iphone app called Photo Duo, which like a half frame camera, creates diptychs by combining two images into one. The app allows users to create diptychs of existing images from their photo library, or combine new images to tell a story through a single photo.
