6768 Miles Apart (in DIY bokeh)

There's something insanely Christmassy about DIY bokeh. Diana and I had a lot of fun sharing ideas for DIY bokeh filters and sending emails about our efforts. While we like to a no-fuss approach to photography, it's sometimes nice to get a bit technical and abstract. I had so much DIY bokeh goodness left over to share, I made a very short 24 second video too. Enjoy!

My pictures on the left, hers on the right. 6,768 Miles Apart started in April 2009. Our archives are here and here but our favourites are the Polaroid edition and the Disposable Camera edition. We also love Naomi and Marie from the transatlantic lens project & Adeline and Astrid from Her - Der.

I love the vid, too! My favorite is my first photo with the open hands. It's like I'm in a trance.
