About Between Scarlett Guest: A Dialogue
Ashley Lily Scarlett has used a Nokia and a Samsung camera phone to shoot and edit her images. She lives in Sydney, Australia.
Richard Guest uses a Sony a200 to take photographs, and Affinity to edit them. He lives in Beckenham, UK.
This blog is a purely pictorial dialogue, each artist responding to the other’s previous post visually. The posts will not follow a schedule, but the rhythms of thought, production and communication – this is a conversation after all.
Between Scarlett & Guest 
I think, Ashley and Richard this is a very beautiful idea…I will search for this conversation too… (…smiling so much…)
Thanks for the encouragement, Kari.
It’s certainly a lot of fun – thanks very much, Kari.
The start of the conversation is beautiful; I’m looking forward to watching it develop.
Me too!
Thanks very much, Ann.
This is interesting!!
Thanks so much, Malin, I’m glad you think so.

Thank you, Alison, glad to hear that.

Still loving this place, gives a great feeling, hard not to “like” every one!
Haha! Feel free to ‘like’ as many as you like. 🙂

eavesdroppings
Yes, indeed.

Thank you, I hope you continue to enjoy it.
What a great idea!! I love it!
Thank you, Adèle. 🙂
A wonderful thought:) I like to follow this, I love pictures and what I can interpret from them, this is interesting!
Thank you! 🙂
really love your sequences!
Thank you, Olive. 🙂
Amazing idea, guys!
OK! You got me! I’m your fan and follower ❤
Thank you, Teti! x o x
All pleasures are mine, Ashley ❤
Your blogs are great, guys!
And your photo-conversation is terrific!
i am so happy to see you two, ” talking without words”
seems like jazz music to me..(vamping) love it!!!
Someone else pointed out the jazz connection too. Welcome in, Ted. 🙂
A very good idea, and exciting pictures! Is there no way of putting the two related images in the same post? I think that could make it even more interesting 🙂
Thank you, ninano, for your input. It’s an ongoing conversation: each image relates to the previous one.
Cool concept and interesting dialogue. Nice 🙂
wonderful dialogue. reminds me of renku, a Japanese collaborative poetry form. too many rules by far, but the linking is really interesting. it has to be a jump, a juxtaposition.
That’s interesting, thank you, Belinda.
Love this idea, I’ve seen it done with a friend in video before (via Vimeo) – it’s a good thing to try and a nice way to keep the creative thinking going. Bravi!
I used to do it via text with one of my friends too. And yes! It does indeed keep the creative thinking going. 🙂
this is an incredibly original idea..how did you think it up and how do you.know each other ?
Richard adked me if I would like to collaborate and I had already been thinking of asking him so I jumped at the chance. Nice! 🙂
I had been doing something similar with a friend via text message but nothing as regular or longterm as this. I suggested we have a ‘chat’ im images, and then in the course of many many emails, Richard and I sorted out the format and everything else. That was fun in itself, we communicate with eachother very well using words. 🙂
We’ve never met though we almost did once. 🙂
Oh, and some years ago Canon had a thing whereby one person would take a small section of someone elses image and extrapolate, which I thought would be fun but I didn’t (and still don’t) have a camera, let alone a Canon. I believe the surrealists did something like that – exquisite corpse, I think it was called. I also have seen people do a call and response thing before but never an ongoing thing like this.
Now I’m going to google exquisite corpse and see if I got it right! 😀
Ah, exquisite corpse is more like playing ‘consequences’.
Great work ! just discovered it, i am already an aficionado
Thank you! 🙂
This is wonderful! Brilliant.
Thanks very much, Chris. 🙂
I could go through this site putting a Like on everything I see. The connection and statements are as visually poetic as anything I’ve seen in a long time. I’m looking really forward to following this and your other blogs as well. This is exactly what I came looking for tonight. Thanks Ashley!
Well, thank you very much. What kind things to say. 😀
A fantastic idea ! Why not go further by creating a “cadavre exquis” ( I think it’s called an ‘exquisite corpse’ in English…) like surrealists in the 1920’s. One of you takes a picture without showing it to the other, the other takes a picture and on the same day you post both side by side, creating a surreal narrative, a whole new interpretation of our so called reality.
Hello! Sorry for the late reply.
My understanding of ‘exquisite corpse’ is that the respondent sees a small part of the previous person’s image and then extrapolates from that. Like the game ‘consequences’.
Actually the previous person’s image remains unknown to the respondent until the end of the game. This creates something totally unique each time. Thanks for answering 🙂

One of the best ways in which we’ve seen blogging being used so far, if you ask us. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot. 🙂
I love that this is a discussion. That really shines through in every image 🙂
Cheers
Thanks!
