"The Morning Hour": Bryan Adams, Back to You

never been one of his fans, too sweet for my tooth. great guitar, yes, but the lyrics are always so mellow... I like to listen to him from time to time, not that much.
But I'd have never expected to become one of admirers as a photographer. How the hell did this guy make it into the impenetrable word of professional photography? and his pictures are great too. Edgy, provocative sometimes, always elegant.

While our society keeps promoting a modern disease called hyper-specialization "You are your job and you'll always be that job", here is a man who has mastered rock music and photography, sometimes certain genes are just bloody good!

"The Morning Hour": Elbow, One Day Like This

When the idea of "The Morning Hour" started it was meant to include music, words and photos. It was, basically, a way to link three media I'm keen into around the same entity. To help me decide the single song/theme each time, I turned to my alarm and "outsourced" the service.

Words are fast, YouTube is even faster, my eye, my mind and my camera couldn't keep up. Hence I've been writing and posting about each song (almost) every day, while taking some more time to shoot the pictures.

When I heard this song today coming out of the radio, I looked out - it was a brilliant morning, I smiled - I finally had a photo to post with the song! The song has been one of the first to feature in the project and, I remember, came out a few weeks ago in another shining sunny day.

Here is the picture, my own personal way to look at this song, to its melody and its lyrics, to the mood it puts me in whenever I listen to it.



I don't know where the project will end up, but I'm enjoying it. Taking beautiful photos by capturing moments that life offers to us is a tough task, building an idea, looking at ways to implement it through the lens and getting a satisfactory final results is proving to be a daunting one!
But I'm taking up the challenge!
