Today's Photo Friday had me once again searching the internet for anything that could give me some clue as to what Juxtaposition was. I had never before heard this word in my life, and this week it has come accross 3 times in different forms in my life. The first was this weeks challange, then it was in an email someone sent me, and then one of my students used it in a sentence. Weird. That is what I love about this meme, I seem to notice something new every week.
I discovered that Juxtaposition was basically an object occupying the same space. I found images in which juxtaposition was used. I was still quite confused. Than my husband, the master of any English word, showed me specifically what it meant and the bell went off. I got it. I finally understood.
I took the following three photos of my kids (my favorite models) at Christmas:
I decided to somehow make them all appear in the same photo. My first attempt had me cutting each person out of their photo and placing them on top of each other, The result is kinda cool, but you can't really see the kids:
The result is not something I really liked, so I tried something different and asked my husband if it was still juxtaposition. He grinned and said "absolutely". He liked it so much...
So, without further ado, here is my final juxtaposition photo of my three kids:
This week I get the honor to pick next weeks title. So, without further ado, next weeks Photo Friday will be: Religion
