Story/Description of Abe's Two Faced
Did you know that the Lincoln Memorial is carved so half of Abe is relaxed and calm and the other half is tense and ready for action? I did. I remember learning that when I was a child. While touring through Washington D.C. I set out to make a photograph to illustrate that fact. I set up the tripod on the right side first and positioned ol' Abe so he was only taking up half the frame. I paced off the distance of the tripod to the center of the monument, measured the exact distance on the left side, and set the camera for a double exposure. I didn't quite get the image lined up properly. I had to manipulate the image electronically to get the two Abe's the way you see them here.
