"Where I end and you begin" 1st Edition

"Where I end and you begin"
Is the latest project of framing frames, based on the concept of cadavre exquis.
It's a series of photographs - one inspired by previous one.
Simply speaking - one of us takes a picture and sends it to the other one to provoke an inspiration which in turn produces a new picture which is then sent to the next person, and on and on we go.
We just completed the first round , and now we begin to post the pictures on Facebook and our blog. Since we only allowed to see the picture of the person before - we don't know the other photographs and we will discover them at the same time as you do.
Each of us has one day to produce a photo - so every day there will be a new picture posted.
On this assignment we are 3+1 joined by guest Milan Szypura.
This is different from our usual assignment in a way that there will be no voting poll for it, but as usual you are very welcome to leave your comments and thoughts.
Hope you will follow us on this creative new path and enjoy it as we do.
Warmest greetings.
The FramingFrames Team

Assignment #9 "Three of a kind"

Hi, there!
The 2010 we begin with a twist on our usual assignment idea.
This time the only requirement for us was to create a triptych / mini series of photos.
Each of us created a set of 3 photos related to each other in some way and intended to be appreciated together.
So, this time we ask you not to focus one particular photo, but look at the whole set of 3 of them, and pick the set you prefer.
Thanks guys !
"… everything is covered and unified by this one dominant colour. The sound is muted and almost gone and there is this overall feeling of stillness and calm. The traces of foot steps and car tracks remain in the snow telling the story of what have happened. The world is reduced to a monochrome photograph and receives a whole new kind of poetry and meaning to it."

" Nowadays I hear talking about space in terms of warm hole and folding space, yet in everyday life we still have to open a door to get to a different space.
Open doors are for you to go in or stay out but there is always something intriguing behind a closed one "

"nights, rains, headlights..."
"I often like blurry pictures, don't know really why, but maybe it produces something mysterious and reveals -in a way- a different perception of reality.
This last weeks, I took a lot of pictures from cars, trains, buses by rainy nights.
It's in fact bad conditions for photography, but I like the surprises it gives, helping me to discover different settings for the camera and the eye.
and surprise, sometimes it's not blurry…"
Have a look at the pictures and let us know what you think.
All the best. FramingFrames Team.
