My friend and fellow photo enthusiast Brett and I decided to try our hand(s) at challenging each other with concept-driven photo collaborations. For now these posts will be rather sporadic, but in the future I hope we get up to one a week! We'll both share both images on our own blogs, so be sure to check B's out, too!
For this week's inaugural collabo, we decided on "light". I chose it (so you're next, B!) because I liked its ambiguity and the many ways it could be interpreted. Brett's cool photo is on top; mine below.
About his photo, Brett wrote: "This pic is funny because the way lighting hit the grass and clouds makes it look like I was out in the middle of a field, but I was actually in my neighborhood right downtown Minneapolis. In fact, you can even see I-94 in the background! Love me some Loring Park." I love the moody storm clouds and how the perspective the photo was shot from is rather misleading - I'd never have guessed it was taken in a city park.
My photo was taken in January at a roadside A&W with friends on our way home from our ski trip in Northern Michigan. We'd never been to such an old-school place and got a total kick out of the ordering system (a dial-up telephone in each booth for you to phone-in your order to the waitress behind the counter which was about 8 feet away). Hot dogs + frosty rootbeers were tasty, but I was loving the way the late afternoon light hit the retro booths.
Stay tuned, lots more to come, especially now that spring is actually in sight and we can both escape the confines of our apartments, cameras in hand, more often...
