Joy introduces us to a new noise that you can make when someone gets shot, dies, or drowns. Email us your own version of the audio logo!
TPP B-REEL
Joy, I need you to make that noise again.
We really needed to hear Joy make the noise again because she is the originator, and we just can’t do it as well as she can. We decided to record the phone call so we can play it over and over and perfect the noise.

It looks better dry. You have to watch this one to see what it is about, because I don’t remember. I would have liked to have gotten my hair wet but didn’t mind keeping it dry ;)

These are your chance to get to know Kelly and Jessica better. In our diary entries, we reveal private information about ourselves, tell stories from the past, and once, Kelly cried. In the past we have posted our bank statements, revealed crushes, reproduced letters to our grandparents, and Jessica even gave a tour of all her tattoos, explaining the reasonings behind them and giving some insight into what was going on in her life at the time.

A year ago, we didn’t even know what “social media” was. Now we produce and star in our own Popular Podcast! We have learned a lot along the way, and want to help our friends do the same. The more people doing this the better! With your TPP Premium subscribership, you will get access to posts about the podcasting process and how we (attempt to) make money online.
Kelly Cree and Jessica Mullen are trained designers- both having earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Jessica in 2005 and Kelly in 2007. Jessica later returned to the school to teach web design and is currently an MFA candidate in Design at the Unversity of Texas at Austin. TPP Premium Subscribers get access to design tutorials, discussions and critiques that are not available to the public.
We accidentally discovered underwater fetish in the summer of 2008. Jessica purchased a waterproof Sanyo Xacti, and we innocently posted a couple underwater videos to YouTube and received thousands of hits! Since then, we have recorded most of our trips to the pool, and our breath-holding skills have definitely improved- at least marginally. Our underwater videos rarely contain nudity and never contain sex. They are simply innocent frolics in the pool ;)
By becoming a TPP Premium Subscriber, you gain access to all of our underwater videos. This includes the ones we currently have for sale and any new ones we create. We want to keep our video prices low, but we have to make up for that with the membership price. Its like a Costco membership- if you use it, you save money in the end. Billing for TPP Premium is not currently recurring- you will only be billed again if you login after your 30 days have passed.
With your subscription, you also get full access to all of our other premium content including but not limited to free previews of underwater videos, tub podcast outtakes, stills and animated .gifs.
00:18:09 You can preview our Underwater Videos here and browse videos here.
Yes, we do like to show our boobs. The first time we posted naked photos publicly on the internet in January of 2009 was one of the most liberating moments of both of our lives. Admittedly, we were pretty tipsy at the time ;) However, since then, we have both come to terms with the fact that privacy doesn’t exist and enjoy embracing that realization. So why are we charging for it then? Because you’ll pay. But don’t get your hopes up, this isn’t pr0n people, this is art.
Dear lord I’m just trying to get my day started and I’m so distracted by emails and tiny post edits and iphone chargings. So we woke up late; I blame the entire 2.5 glasses of wine I had. I hope you liked the photoshoot :]
Today I have a rather full plate, and we have some swimming planned for later…

When Jessica brought up the ShakeItPhoto iPhone ap again yesterday, I really did not feel it was worth revisiting. I do, however, enjoy making fun of the photos – which led me to idea of doing a legitimate, critical, and objective critique of the photos.
This will give me the opportunity to discuss some of the underlying concepts of the tools and express my feelings about the aesthetics in a (hopefully somewhat) academic manner.
She plans to retort in the comments. I look forward to that.
This photo demonstrates many of the great aspects of SIP. The border, tight crop, and square format add drama to the scene- putting the mundane futon and pillow in a context outside itself. These visual tactics help give the audience the feeling of the scene having significance, though that significane may not be implicity clear. The color saturation gives the photo depth.
As you can see, there are some compositions that the ap just cannot help. However, this photo is probably still more visually appealing than its not-filtered counterpart. At least on the surface. The visual tactics mentioned above also evoke a feeling of nostalgia. The color, composition, and format give the image the illusion of being aged. The audience then attaches a feeling of nostalgia to an event that just occured moments ago. Is that what we really want to do? Create nostalgia? I am anti-nostalgia. Live in the now.
Its like when you look back at old photos and wonder – what was I wearing? or what is with my hair?
How do you decide when to use and when not to? Then some photos take on more significance than others.
Our responsiblity as creators is not to accept these things that water down what we do. Are we complacent with this, or should we be figuring out new, better ways to communicate visually?
The End of The Professional
On the other hand it puts tools into the hands of amatuers. It gives anyone who wants to an opportunity to create something that is potentially more powerful than something she could do on her own. Without having to put in any more effort.
The concept of citizens being able to perform tasks previously reserved for professionals is the one in which I am most interested. Because this can translate to a lot of other situations.
Like the automotive industry. Or business. And especially design.
In the end, it is just a filter. An action. A macro. A program. Are those of you who support the use of these filters suggesting, then, that the machine is better at creation than we?
This is still a bad photo.
So is this one.
Ok I actually like this one.
Beautiful.
Making the family proud.
I realized I was wearing all red. At least I wasn’t wearing all blue.
Good photos are not about gimmicks. They reflect the way one looks at the world. Become a better photographer by re-examining your reality version. LifeFuck.
