Juxtaposition

February 26, 2008 in by Jeremy 11 comments

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.

Every one on internet searches for cool content. Its very unfortunate with most of the websites published posts that are boring and out of context articles, just to show that new material is being published. Contrary to that immoral practice, this article is a cool-written article. L8er
