Product Description:
The morning hours before the hustle and bustle of the day commences is the perfect time to pause and enjoy a sense of renewal and vitality. On the morning of December 7, 2006, Maria Alexandra Vettese and Stephanie Congdon Barnes each took a digital photo of everyday objects randomly arranged on their kitchen tables and, unbeknownst to one another, uploaded them to the website Flickr.
'A Year of Mornings' collects 236 images – always taken before 10AM without discussion between the two women – from this uniquely 21st-century artistic collaboration. The intimacy of these photographs – discarded clothing, a view of a snowy day from the window, a table cloth – combined with their striking similarities in color and composition defies the reality of their long-distance collaboration. While clearly kindred spirits, the two women have met in person only once. Their friendship is maintained solely online, sustained by a shared love for moments of serenity, solitude, and peacefulness. The annotated photographs in 'A Year of Mornings' radiate an aura of sweetness and light – the promise of a new day.
