Stacey Baker uvijek je bila fascinirana pričama o upoznavanju parova. Zamolila je fotografa Aleca Sotha da joj pomogne istražiti to područje i našli su se na najvećem skupu brzinskih spojeva održanom u Las Vegasu na Valentinovo te u najvećoj umirovljeničkoj zajednici u Nevadi, a Soth je fotografirao portrete parova na svakoj od lokacija. Između ova dva ekstrema našli su zajedničku crtu koja vodi od upoznavanja do stvaranja zajedničkog života. (Ovaj govor bio je dio sesije na TED2015 vođene od Pop-Up Magazine: popupmagazine.com or @popupmag on Twitter.)
