Olympus PEN EE-2,

a so-called 'point-and-shoot' camera from the early 1960s, which takes photos in half-frame format. That means double the number of shots on a roll. Nice and economical. But also that the camera is 'portrait' oriented, it shoots two portrait photos on one 24x36mm landscape-frame. When the negatives are digitized, the two also end up side by side in one file. And sometimes something beautiful comes out of it, worthy of coexistence. Called a 'diptych' among half-frame enthusiasts, it is a popular format. I have always found it intriguing how images, placed side by side, can comment on each other. A new meaning emerges, a different perspective. With the Olympus PEN this has become a goal in itself. I like to load it with film and point-and-shoot, looking for combinations that will tell a story or simply produce a beautiful co-image.
