I agree with annora. The yellow chairs add just the right touch.

@Suzanne Labbé: (from Ronnie 2¢) Thank you, Suzanne. Yes, the sculpture in my part of the image is in Bond Street, London and called ‘Allies’ (1995) by Lawrence Holofcener. The work shows FDR and Winston, right, seated on the bench.
Florence from Paris, France
A funny juxtaposition indeed. You've got great eyes, both of "view" ! :-)

cool parallel compositions yet again, and yet again L's shot looks much more relaxed. Are the two people depicted on the bench statues of anyone in particular?

@danthro: (from Ronnie 2¢) The sculptures are of Roosevelt and Churchill . . although I didn’t find the likeness of Churchill all that convincing.

You are a master at not only photography, but humor as well... LOL!

I like those chairs in the shot as well. Nicely captured and great conversation they have between them :)

They probably left because the yellow seats were a little dirty ;D. Another great contrast Ronnie. Not sure where you come up with all the ideas, but they are really incredibly good.

Very humorous, only it looks like the two went to get a soda quite some time ago, given the state of the empty chairs. But I like how you found the pairs here and then paired those together. Very well seen.

I also think the Churchill likeness is off. At first glance I wondered who he was supposed to be and thought: who would the Brits go to the trouble of bronzing like this? and as it's too early for Tony Blair, it must be Winston. Still, I wasn't convinced until I realized the figure on the left was FDR. I also notice from the background that that Frank and Winny seem to have rather upscale sensibilities.

That whole presentation was pretty creative. Nice work.

Now you two already know how much I love your work. Still, I have to admit, I often have fun trying to spot the join or the flaws that reveal it. Well I have found my first one today! The two darg grey squares near the center of the shot look like they are clones. Of course, you made it too easy putting it in the middle like that =Dp

@drphoto: (from Lilly and Ronnie 2¢) lol . . thanx, Dan! We did not set out to fully ‘blenge’ our shots but it happened naturally with “Comfort Zone” on March 12 and first went full-blown with “Tread Carefully” on March 15. Artistically, we tend to prefer the less deceptive ‘mirroring’ such as earlier seen in “Almost Nine” where the original photographs remain intact.
Jarrard from Athens, GA, United States
Cool combo. I almost wonder, though, if I don't like it better with an obvious separation of the two photos. You're certainly making me think!

Another brilliant idea with a great contrast between the halves.

Brilliant. I love your blog, the photos are very cool and I love the titles and the Ronnie and Lilly exchanges. Fabulous!
