With the deadline for this edition of Hey, Hot Shot! competition looming just around the corner, next Friday, October 23rd @ 8 p.m. (EDT), I thought I would take a peek at the contenders. The resulting pairing features images by contenders Magda Biernat and Gregoire Pujade Lauraine.

I don’t know why yet but the pairing has stuck with me all day and so I thought I would share it. From both I get a feeling loneliness and sense of something being wrong. Something that everyone may not know just yet. Perhaps it is the eerie awkwardness that I feel radiates from both images that brings them together in my mind.
