  • Stacey Baker has always been obsessed with how couples meet. When she asked photographer Alec Soth to help her explore this topic, they found themselves at the world’s largest speed-dating event, held in Las Vegas on Valentine’s Day, and at the largest retirement community in Nevada - with Soth taking portraits of pairs in each locale. Between these two extremes, they unwound a beautiful through-line of how a couple goes from meeting to creating a life together. (This talk was part of a TED2015 session curated by Pop-Up Magazine: popupmagazine.com or @popupmag on Twitter.)

    This made me cry. My husband and I met through friends who are now divorced. Our endurance is what has resulted in our happiness. If we had given up during our most trying times, the times where most couples throw in the towel, we wouldn't feel the love and true happiness we have now.

      Desiree Demick What made you 2 decide not to divorce, if you know it? Was it I won't get a divorce, he has to do it or I'm not gonna get a divorce, she can do it if she want that?

    I like how the lesson to be learned here isn’t blatantly stated but poetically implied through the narrative they constructed.

    Before I watch this, my mom just talked with me that she dosen't want to endure my dad anymore. Actually, she had talked several times. I always know the problem between my parents, but I never think it so serious that they would divorce. However, this time, half an hour ago, I felt my mom trully want to end up this marriage. And then, I watched this.

    Forgiveness ... thats what keeps them together ... one of the hardest things to learn - try it one day ;-). And the elevator question ... has a simplistic answer, "I only help people when I have no time (... especially when I'm late ;-) ... and it's a good thing too, 'cause that's always when strangers need it the most :). Practically all holy preachers/scholars fail this simple test in real life ...(something to do with the ego?) ... Thanks for sharing your visual insights Alec and Stacey.

    Beautiful. It's so easy to say "that's it", we could do this all day. But love is about not walking away just because the situation is less than ideal.

    So heteronormative "love" is really misogynistic

    If you want to skip the boring part, which is basically these two telling stories about how people met and married or dated, go ahead and click here: 09:00
    You won't miss out on much :)

      Now look back at my comment i think part of the point of the "boring part" was to contrast being single and being a couple.. that we work hard to connect and work hard to stay connected

    She was speed dating, and someone didn't think THAT was being vulnerable? Wow.

    Finally something that's not just about feminism. Good one.

  • @47571660

    Remember when TED videos were about technology and design instead of a platform for any old story?

    • @apm77
      @apm77 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +john smith It's safe to say there has never ever been a talk like that, except in your imagination. Also, you obviously have no idea what "patriarchy" means, so maybe you should watch more feminist videos until you understand it better. (Hint: it has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with men conspiring against women.)

    It is so easy to ridicule people, as these 2 do here in this video, but why putting it on the internet? A very one sided attack on people who can’t respond. Great subject by a great photographer, but sad performance this time.

    Quite possibly the worst TedTalk I have endured... For two photographers they really produced pretty crappy images for this project... The wedding images were way mor interesting....
