Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you,
And longer if I can
As long as stars are above you,
And longer if I can
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
How long will I be with you?
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand
How long will I want you?
As long as you want me to,
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can
As long as you want me to,
And longer by far
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can
How long will I give to you?
As long as I live through you,
However long you say
As long as I live through you,
However long you say
How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you,
And longer if I may
Were all traveling through time together
Every day of our lives
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride
As long as stars are above you,
And longer if I may
Were all traveling through time together
Every day of our lives
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride
Yours truly,

I Challenge You
First off I would like to say that I personally dont like collages of photos because I think they are just too much and overwhelming but diptychs are the one exception.
In Elsie Larson and Emma Chapmans book, A Beautiful Mess: Photo Idea Book, theyve created fun and easy challenges for readers to try. As I was going through the challenges I came across the diptych challenge. Diptychs are simply two photos paired together and they are very simple to create. As Elsie and Emma says "You can use photo-editing software to digitally pair your images. [Or] You can get an iPhone app that does it for you" (152). Here I will show you how to create a diptych on your phone and I used the app "Superimpose" but you can of course use any app you prefer.

As Elsie and Emma says "You can use photo-editing software to digitally pair your images. [Or] You can get an iPhone app that does it for you" (152). Here I will show you how to create a diptych on your phone and I used the app "Superimpose" but you can of course use any app you prefer.
First, import a blank white image for the background and then import the first photo you want to pair together as the foreground.
Next, stretch the photo to cover about 2/3 of the background.
Third, you will merge the white background and your photo together. This is the most important step because if you dont merge the background and foreground together you will not be able to import the second photo for the foreground.
After merging the background and foreground import your second photo as the new foreground and stretch it to cover the remaining 1/3 of the white background. When doing this make sure you leave a space between the two photos because that is how you get the white line in between.
The last step is to hit merge again and export the photo to your photo album.
Here is the finish image I created.
Now that we have finished you can see that diptychs are very quick and simple to create, which is one of the reasons why I love this technique. I also love diptychs because like Elsie and Emma says they make images more artistic and gives it more of a meaning by telling a story (152). After creating this first diptych I was inspired to create more and I had lots of ideas of what two photos I can pair together.
The question I have for this blog post is what are your favorite photo editing apps or softwares if you use any?
