I can relate - my brother is a long-suffering north-sider. Great take on the challenge. I really like the subjects being positioned with their backs to each other, but turned forward enough so we can see their accountrements. Well thought upon and well executed - I hope you do well. 9.
Nice picture, but I'm not sure if it's Dichotomy and since I'm not even sure to understand Dichotomy myself, I'm voting all pictures as if they meet the challenge.
