If your photographs were songs...

...what kind of songs would they be?

Good morning everyone!

I always thought my pictures were a little bit like Johnny Cash. Melancholic, "old school" and calm. I prefer to shoot in black and white, I love autumn and winter and the way everything seems to be sleeping or lost in a way.
Yesterday my girlfriend said my photos are more like Depeche Mode to her. A little dark, structured, clear, strict but (gladly :D ) not boring.
So, what do you think what your picturs would sound like?

I think they'd probably be like Joni Mitchell's album 'Blue' -- sometimes brooding, sometimes joyful, sometimes wanting to run away, wanting to come closer, and on and on.
 
Waiting for my films to come back from the processing lab a suitable song would be "Some Day My Prints Will Come".
Sorry!

Then they would be great images, because Blue is one of the best albums ever.
 
People reactions would resemble that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. You know the one were everyone's face melts off :)
 
They'd be like Blood on the Tracks. Varied, tender, visceral, authentic, iconoclastic. Or then again, not.
 
My photos are like albums, which convey a palette of emotions better than a single song.

U2 - 'Boy'
The Cure - 'Faith' (or even 'Pornography')
Gavin Friday - 'Each man kills the thing he loves'

Or any Radiohead or Thom Yorke album, for that matter...
 
My photo-songs are not Grammy material, but they convey (to me) what I see happening around me.
