I'm also exploring image pairing. I have seen this done frequently in magazines and catalogs. The pairing of a portrait plus a detail shot may be more interesting to the viewer.
Diptychs allow you to compare and contrast and start conversations within the work, which is what you are trying to do with the Old / Young comparisons.
definitely a great idea. i think these images could be really interesting if you incorporate some extra texture layers into the photographs (like you've done with some of the rural & fair images.)
also, have you thought about how these images might be displayed/framed? what if you worked back into the images (staining?) to give them some "added age." or maybe 'photo corners'- for a small, scrapbooking pictures feel... or some really fancy old-time frames for bigger pieces?
