I think you’re right, and beautiful images too. Funny, music and photography are both big players in my life, but I have a hard time merging the two. I will rarely process my pics to music unless they are client photos that I have no feeling for. If I feel passionate about an image I am working on, I am very selective about what track I listen to, or just process in silence. However, I will ALWAYS listen to music when updating my website… ok, enough babble from me. lol

That is a good philosophy Mark. How I find people is from reading interviews where artists say who inspires them. That is how I discovered Patty Griffin. Love her music. She is also under ATO Records which is Dave Matthews label.

Thanks Cindy, I appreciate your insight. Ready here for a bit of spring myself.

Thank you Paul. You picked up on the aspects that I like from each of them as well.

I actually was not much of a Genesis fan, but Peter Gabriel’s “So” album was the first I ever bought on CD.

I like both images Mark, for different reasons.. they each have their own mood and ‘feel’. (Have to admit for a preference for the second though, as it portrays the colors/textures of spring, which I’m more than ready for!)
thanks for the tip on the P.Gabriel tunes- another great artist. I personally feel enjoying music while editing photos or creating any visual art often enhances the process.

Wonderful images both and yet such a different color scheme for spring between the two. I especially like the second with more pastel tones, but really enjoy the geometry of the first image. Thanks for the news on Gabriel’s new work, I’m a fan going back to early Genesis.

Thank you Lana. It is nice that you can listen to it for free. It is an album of covers, so it is interesting to hear his take on some of these well known songs.

Thank you David. Actually I was wondering after I published this post if I made any sense whatsoever! So I am relying A LOT upon the reader to make some of those connections. Ha!

Bob, you are not alone. I don’t like soundtracks on websites either.

I hope that picking music comes easy for you – it is something I struggle with still. It can really enhance, or really distract from what you are trying to do.

Thanks for the tip on the music. I really like Gabriel, so I’ll have to check it out.
Wonderful photos. The colors in the top shot are just stunning!
