I've been thinking about songs...a lot. lol

I've narrowed it down to 3. One from 1918, one from 1971, and one from 1986.

All 3 have been recorded multiple times and by various artists.

I've a 4th song that I might turn into a photo. (In case someone else also uses the song from 1918)

I've been having fun trying to get my shot. Not quite there yet but I'm close.

Have earworms been stalking you?

2. I enjoy all kinds of music but my mind went blank at first. Couldn't think of anything.

Now I just hope I can get the shot I want.

I started looking at photos to see whether they would make me
think of a song...and I had one that just jumped out at me right away.

It's totally cool to think of the photo as album cover art.

8. Yes! That's an issue I've come across..great song, need the props for it.

And the expense of the props just isn't worth the one photo. Even if I were to use the props again. (Big IF)

12. I'm trying something new, sorta. A new technique (to me anyway).

Which is why I'll probably get some more shooting in...

16. They are all over me. The songs and the photos.

I just now played with the idea and with utube while looking at potentials. One is sentimental, the other cracks me up. A third is a favorite I've sung a song to ever since I took it.
My problem is making the decision.......

But I don't have a photo that could go along with that.

15. I looked over my archives and decided to shoot something new because I didn't have a photo already.

The theme almost begs for props.
