Two Column Photos lays six frames side by side in two columns, each with a location-and-date caption beneath it, under a heading that names the trip, Japan, autumn 2024. The lede is a quiet qualifier, three weeks, two cities, one 35mm prime, and the selection principle, these are the frames that held up on the second look. Aspect ratios vary across the six photos, portrait for the street shots, landscape for the grove and the market, square for the temple and the path.
Photos are one array; each item carries its own aspect constant so the column rhythm changes naturally without any overrides. Mixed ratios is the distinctive choice: a pair of identical squares would blunt the contrast the two-column layout exists to create.
Reach for this block as a gallery spread inside a trip or project page, or as a secondary work section beneath a series feature. The installer swaps captions and aspect ratios for their own frames and locations.

Tip: pair a tall portrait with a wide landscape in the same row to give the column rhythm something to say.
