What's The Difference?
20 x 2 : What's The Difference? from photojunkie on Vimeo.
Rannie made a video for a panel-thingie called 20x2 at SXSW Interactive. I'm going to have to make it down to Austin for that one day...

Do all couples bond over laptops on the couch?
Yikes. Pete and I are so so so so guilty.

It's OK. I'm sure the video was done with good intentions; all the couples featured were probably friends of the artist, whom he was able to convince to be in the video. Still, it weakens his message if he's only able to show couples of similar ethnic backgrounds and, from what I can tell, similar socio-economic backgrounds too.

Well, Rannie is Filipino and in an interracial relationship, so...yeah. Probably not intentional.

I don't know about differences, but I can tell you what's similar about all of them: they're almost exclusively WHITE!
Among the 40 people featured, I caught 2 Asians and 1 Latino (and maybe one person who could be Aboriginal). The other 36 were white. And pretty well-off, might I add.
Maybe there'd be more evidence of difference if there was more diversity in the subject pool? Just sayin'. (Do all couples bond over laptop on the couch?)
