You're a flame that never fades
Jungle red's a deadly shade
Both ends burning, will the fires keep
Somewhere deep in my soul tonight
Both ends burning

Musical inspiration (I'm feeling very nostalgic today):
Angel eyes - am I deceived or did you sigh'
For all I know you let you love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes - you never close, who's got the time'
I can wait until your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes - seems to me you fill the skies
I'm far below so let your love light
Shine on me
Angel eyes - on the wing and open wide
No matter how high the moon
Shine down on me
Sydney from my vantage point on the rock platform at the end of Mrs Macquarie's Road. Near the historic 'Mrs Macquarie's Chair'.
Looking west at sunset to the city, bridge and Opera House.
And the music drifting across the rocks as the sun set over the harbour (from a sleek super yacht parked nearby) was Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. A blast from the 1970s.
Here's 'Don't Stop The Dance' by Roxy Music. Check out the extra cool backing singers - and the dancing chick in the red dress. Let's go back in time as we look at the sunset over the bridge:

I don't know why, but, when I saw this figurine, my first thought was Brian Ferry & Roxy Music !!! It's the reason why I've called him Brian Vegee !!! LOL !!!

An unexpected opportunity arising from a fairly routine road trip. A memory of Paul Boudreau's fantastic piece, "Bored in the Backseat" flashed in my mind and out came the iPhone. This time from the front seat, on the passenger side, I worked my own signature styling to try my hand at roughly the same PoV as Paul's piece. So this one goes out to him. Thanks for the inspiration, Paul !!!

Music Link: "Oh Yeah" - Roxy Music, from their album "Flesh + Blood". Here it's performed live by the band at the Apollo Theatre in 2001. I've always loved this song, as did my late friend, Paul Thomson. Having made countless road trips together with music being the life force of the journey, we particularly loved the line in the song that goes "So in tune to the sounds in my car".
I also can't forget the creative partnership and mutual mentoring of my Arizonian compadre Paul Ewing, who co-founded PANO-Vision this year with me. His amazing work turning the everyday into something magical has also inspired me.
So alright, let's just do it this way .... This image goes out to 3 Pauls ... Boudreau, Thomson and Ewing. The song though, particularly, to Paul Thomson.

I still remember shooting this show with one of my very best friends Rory back when he lived in Chicago. We were treated well and did not have to shoot from the soundboard. In addition, we were told we could shoot the whole set and there wasn't any kind of rights grab contract. I think we both thought someone was playing some crazy trick on us. Oh, I miss those days galavanting around with Rory. Thank God for long term human memories!

A fanciful window display in another Bergdorff & Goodman window. This one just across the street from the bottom of Central Park.
High end fashion fantasy glaringly calls to the structural enormity all around it. It's candy coloured world blending with the impassivity before it. Both worlds fuse through the medium of reflection. The window facilitates simultaneous worlds.

Music Link: "Beauty Queen" - Roxy Music, from their album "For Your Pleasure". The early 70's Roxy Music incarnation was a much more openly experimental and avant grade band than the slick, richly produced form they took in the 80's and beyond. They blindsided the music world with their shockingly brilliant combination of high fashion kitsch, 50's nostalgia and futuristic electronic aesthetics. They were the children of Pop Art and were artistically sophisticated enough to blend both High and Low art into one fantastic sound that no one, including the band and its members, have ever equalled since.
"Beauty Queen" seemed a nice touch to the image for it's slick Romanticism and it's Futuristic sonic picture.

"It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going"
Roxy Music - More than this.
My model, Kelly, wanted to do something different so we decided to do a series of cinematic shots covering the story of a mental / emotional breakdown. We shot on the fly but what more poetic way than to start the story with a shot of her in my car, when the rain had literally just stopped and my windscreen was still wet? The story is she had just pulled into the hard shoulder really feeling overwhemed (but obviously we shot on a much quieter city street!)
There's numerous metaphors about driving / travel at night to tap into. Poets have also long equated the rain with tears.
There wasn't a lot of tweaking to colour but I processed this with the tones of yellow and green to provoke an emotional response of sickness / unease in the viewer while also getting it to look cinematic.
I also chose to leave the small chip in my windscreen in... another metaphor tapping into the emotions. That chip is gonna crack one day.
"There's a band playing on the radio
And it's drowning the sound of my tears.." (Bryan Ferry, Oh Yeah)
I was inspired by the song Mother of Pearl by Roxy Music.
Two weddings and a family portrait session this weekend. Whoo!
Anyone from Rockford know of any industrial looking sites I could take pictures in front of near Henrietta and State?
Still kinda on hiatus?
Okaybai <3

Selection:
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture of cameo
Oh Mother of Pearl
So, so semiprecious
In your detached world
Oh Mother of Pearl I wouldn't trade you for another girl
it was .for friends only. for a long time
now it's re-processed and i open it again because .this chapter is closed.

....lazing around before I had to go to work then I remembered the washing, then the ironing, then maybe I ought to have something to eat before I leave, then "Is that the time?"....so that shot of something green that I was gonna get for the photo challenge didn't get got and so once in from work the quest for something green to shoot inevitably led yet once again to my cd collection ( and some vinyl too )...One thing i'd like to point out - I like some of Hearts earlier records ( from when they were a proper rock band ) but I don't like any of those things they did in the mid/late eighties ( y'know big hair, terrible clothes and...power ballads....no no no! )......just wanted to clarify that!

One of my favorite subjects--shoes. I wanted a somewhat unconventional composition this time. Taken through a mirror that I'm thinking of hanging in our master bedroom. ;-) Hope it works (the composition, not the mirror!).
revisited long exposure shot, although this time I remembered to include a train. let's just say I connected a few dots with regard to the approach here based on taking the prior shot two nights ago. - westfield, nj
