Photo Talk

I found this blog on tumblr a bit ago: Five Hours Of. These two photographers shoot complimentary photos back and forth. One shoots first, the other responds. I found it to be a really cool idea, so I started doing it with a fellow photographer that lives in Vegas. 

We’d been shooting back and forth for a bit when he sent me this photo to respond to. 

Are we kidding me? How am I supposed to respond to that? In Potsdam?!

Then I find this photo on flickr (or one very similar to this.) And the wheels start turning.

Which is why I learned how to make a boat out of newspaper. 

I wanted to float the paper boats in the fountain, but upon getting to the fountain, I realized just how very fast the water was moving and that I would never be able to reclaim the boats if I set them loose. And breaking a fountain was not on my to do list for the day. 

So instead, I placed them in front of the fountain, thinking I would photoshop them into the water since the lighting would be the same. But after seeing the final image, I kinda liked the result with them sitting on the dirt.

That’ll do. (Click on the photo for more photo pairings.)
