2 Photographers: 365 Days of Random Pairings

Posted by Queuebot in Blog & Internet, Pictures on April 11, 2009 at 10:52 pm


Josh and Nina are two friends. Every day, they each take a photo. Operating under a pact of absolute secrecy, neither knows what the other is working on. Each morning, they post their photos on MintyForest side by side. The results are often surprising — not least to the photographers themselves.

They have just completed their one year project goal with 365 daily random pairings – some of the combinations are beautiful, some are funny, some are absurd, all are lovely and visually engaging…

An experiment in blind-collaboration, the coupled images of the MintyForest project are explorations of both creative and personal synchronicity — as subject matter, color palette, and technique are compared and contrasted anew with each day. (It’s also an excuse for Josh and Nina to use their shiny new cameras more often.)

    This is a fantastic, marvelously executed idea.

    I especially love the "random" pairing button. Wonderful stuff!

    random worked once for me, then nothing. I like the project.

    Love the random pairings of pictures that stir my creative brain to come up with stories of how the pictures might be connected!

    Great project. Artistic photos. Some of these photos were so great that I wanted to pack my bags and disappear into them. Is that possible? Perhaps. Depends on what substance you're willing to put into your body.

    My favorite photos were the ones with that little dog. He should be in the movies with at least a cameo roll.

    This site is wonderful. Some of the pairings are so perfect with out the two photographers knowing what the other was doing. I look forward to it each and every day.
