If your photographs were songs...

[Phothomas]

...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 😀 ) not boring.
So, what do you think what your picturs would sound like?

The best of them would be this - or something very like it or so I would hope. Brooding and contemplative.

(Erik Satie - Gnossienne No.1)

 

[Vince Lupo]

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.

 

[Sparrow]

... The Smiths

 

[Skulls Road]

Hurt by Nine Inch Nails performed by 2Cellos

it's Winter Fall by L'arc en Ciel for all my Japanese RFFers out there.

Waiting for my films to come back from the processing lab a suitable song would be "Some Day My Prints Will Come".
Sorry!

My pictures put me to sleep.

here is what I want my pictures to feel like . . .

There is a London street photography video on Youtube that uses this great piece by Buckshot Lefonque

And here is the video which is great too. So no guessing which song that photographer (Ronya Galka) thinks is best. (With justification - it works well).

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.

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 🙂

 

[ruby.monkey]

I suspect mine would be the tuneless inanities to which the most unfortunate shower cubicles are subjected.

 

[upceci]

Me singing in the shower.

 

[sepiareverb]

perhaps something like this.

 

[paulfish4570]

Dirge ....

 

[Spanik]

Florence Foster Jenkins singing "Der Hölle Rache"...

 

[lawrence]

They'd be like Blood on the Tracks. Varied, tender, visceral, authentic, iconoclastic. Or then again, not.

 

[Clint Troy]

I'm always aiming for Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast.

 

[johannielscom]

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.
