coupled up

It all started about a week ago with a pair of bananas in the fruit bowl and it quickly became my own personal photo project. And now, everywhere I look, I find yet another couple.

Today, as we celebrate a day of love, what could be sweeter than sharing the tenderness of two? We ask you today to bring us your images of coupling.

My daughter and the dog coupled up next to the window looking out as the street sweeper goes by our house. Loved your slide show!

Technically, this attempt at a double exposure is a failure. I wish I had been able to get the runners a little lower in the frame, at the very least. I still liked how they ended up in focus, though. Really, isn't that the point, to find someone to run with when everything else gets blurry?

I love the image and the concept. Though this is slightly more literal, here is my photoessay of couples and pairs around the world:

Fabulous slide show, Tracey! The black and white processing ties all the disparate pairs together into a cohesive visual essay. Very effective! And I loved that your daughter helped you! If I decide to do something like this my daughter will have to help me, too. :D)

Sweet! I snapped one yesterday at the Negril Donkey races! Funny how connected we themes and artist often are.

I love that image!! So simple yet it says so much! Love the soft tones as well.
Here's a link to a very unusual engagement session, which is definitely about coupling:
