Riders on the storm

While processing this image I couldn’t get The Doors song out of my head so I had to play it. I love music but I don’t play it enough. It’s one of the things that can bring me to tears and those that do are personal and bring back memories. I suppose it’s exactly the same as photography for me, so it seems crazy I share my images on social media expecting others to see them as I do, so why do it. For me it stops my images from being forgotten and neglected like my music waiting on a mnemonic recall. At least with music you can then hum away in your head. I don’t sing out loud because I’m stonata as Carla would say, I wish I could. There was a shop worker in Royston Aldi last week moving loaded pallets, singing at the top of his voice. I’m not saying he was any good but he had the confidence to share with all, which I don’’t think it was his intension, he was oblivious to the shoppers or what they thought. At least I’m a wee bit bolder with my images or I wouldn’t post them on social media, That said I have many photos I don’t share, these I just hum to myself and maybe one day I’ll sing them out loud oblivious of the viewer.
