Juxtaposition

Jeremy Feb 27, 2008

Sometimes the littlest things can inspire you. As I got ready for another business trip away from home I stumbled upon a photo experiment by two friends living far apart, titled 3191: A year of evenings. Soon to be printed as a book, Stephanie Barnes and Maria Vettese would each take one photograph every evening to share side by side on their blog. The effect of this simple story on the juxtaposition of the two photographs translates into something much more than the sum of its parts.

It's such a simple technique that it's easy for us to overlook. One image tells a story. Two images together begin to animate each other like frames in a film or panels in a comic.

This reminded me of one of Bryan's old photo experiments called Balance on the ZURBphotos site that, in part, inspired LuckyOliver.

Totally agree Jeremy. I love it when people express their emotions through a few simple photographs. And piecing the photos together really helps to amplify the emotion as a whole. Nice find.
