Complementary began in June of 2008, and we’ve been posting photos every day since. We share a small moment of our daily lives with simple parameters: every day our photo must correspond to the week’s theme. (For instance, Koko shoots blurry, and Shannon shoots clear.) The juxtaposition of the photos is as much a surprise to us as it is to our audience, and every week brings a new adventure.
While our experience as photographers is separate and individual, a moment of collaboration occurs once every day when our photos pair up. The results have been really interesting—sometimes we’re uncannily synched up, and sometimes our photos are wildly different in subject and tone.
This blog is a way for us to visually complement each other as friends and photographers, and we find the practice of taking a photo every day clarifying—it amplifies the way we see our surroundings, and creates a unique diary of our days.
