here's my entry... for the song "space oddity"... and i have a question for everyone who plays... do you start with a song in your head and set out to make a picture of it? or do you see something that makes you think of a song? or do you take a picture of something and then think about whether there is a song to go with it? i have done all three, but more often then not i start with tune cooties and try to take a picture to exorcise them... :D
@northy fabulous shot for the title! Mostly I take a picture and then think of the song. Often there are songs on my mind, like favourite songs and I try to find a fitting image.
@northy@ludwigsdiana Once saw a large pile of recently felled trees and "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok" immediately popped into my mind :)
But, like Diana, a song usually comes when I view the shot later
