Week 7: Romeo and Juliet, :anna: and Sadandbeautiful (Sarah)

Top: Anna as Juliet
Bottom: Sarah as Romeo

(Sarah) For Week 7 of we were paired up and given the theme of Romeo and Juliet. I right away wanted to discuss more ahead of time than the previous pairings and suggested we do the more iconic scenes (either the balcony or the death scene). I volunteered to be Romeo.

Originally I envisioned us doing a sort of gangster-era style image, picturing Anna in her gorgeous red dress, but life gets in the way as life tends to do, and we got this, which is growing on me more and more. I sorta like the creepy stalker vibe happening (yes I'm kind of a freak, nice to meet you).

Week 3 - Movement - rowandevoe & MFayre

Merle has to be one of the most prolific artists I know, and one of the most patient. We were both battling illness this week, but Merle was a sweetheart and sent me a dozen or so images to choose from. They are all gorgeous images, but I think this combination works best (an alternate version is on my Flickr stream, if you are curious). I decided to illustrate "movement" using a long exposure on the water, while Merle froze her movement. It was very interesting to see how we both interpreted this idea, and as an added bonus I had fun editing Merle-style!

Week 2 - Jewelry - Quizz & rowandevoe

Quizz: So this is another collaboration - the project we are taking with friends. This particular one is a mix of Merle's photo (right) and mine (left)...and the subject is "Jewelry." Isn't Merle's photo GORGEOUS?

We did not agreed on any details - this is complitely an accident that it match somehow...but I like how Merle's jewelry are "reall" and classy" while mine are mostly plastic and artificial...it creates an extra "story to it :)

Week 2 - Hearts/Love - Elle Moss and Geekgirly

The only thing that was discussed between the two of us was that our images would be colour and square in format.

Geekgirly: This quote really was the basis for my image: "One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter." ~ James Earl Jones

Elle Moss: "I knew I wanted to do a self portrait and I wanted to do something outdoors and colorful, but then thought of the pop of a red balloon against the dull 'end of winter' trees. I love the final result and find both images share a charming whimsy."
