Have I ever told you about Kresting & Wrech? I'm doing a photo book with Kresting (which will end up with a significant amount of text I believe, go figure) and another album with Wrech (yeah, I know, who ARE we?). Get it? One (independent) project with each of them.
Anyway, the funny thing is that even though I've been in dozens of conversations and meetings (and "dialogs") about our projects, individually, I don't believe I've even mentioned working with the other human in any of these conversations.It just timed out like that.
Kresting mentioned something about this fact this morning and I was all, "oh, wow." Hadn't thought much on that. But, Kresting and I thought we'd ask Wrech to write the introduction for the book since, I've recently discovered, Wrech happens to know both of us.
Why the book? Kresting and I have been volleying about the idea of doing a nationwide photo scavenger hunt. Get a list of stuff together and have people all over complete their tasks. Logistics are killers, as we all know. Well, I guess this project is sort of a simplified, reverse-evolution variant. Plus, I've really admired her photography, her vision, her eye, and her feedback. So, when I heard (and not from Wrech either) that she might have some time this summer, I locked her in. I'm excited to do this project too (we have spreadsheets and everything).
Why the album? That's what we do.
Anyway, I got to thinking on this and it caught me as funny that I happen to be working with each of them; with both of them. Funny. Unlike that mythic, reclusive sociopath, Onstad (who is probably a large Korean corporation), there really is a Kresting & Wrech. They live in California. They know each other. They got married last September. I married them. Funny.
