    Some reason I don't think my choices so far will have any issues with that (a link to the song might be needed though)

    What era are you digging from? lolrolleyes1.gif

    well, it took a can of air to blow all the moisture out of the box. I had been trying that all day, but I guess I hit it just right this time.
    Duck tape is a good idea for the NEW box the phone guy WILL be putting up. No rain will get in there if I Duck it!mwink.gif

    Ohhh. This is tricky. Do you take a picture first, and then find a song title to fit it. Or do you think of a song title, and then compose a shot? If you go with the latter, purer, approach, you'll really have to be careful on the song title. If you choose Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World," how do you do this justice with a single picture. So you'll have to choose something more obscure. There are some classic, silly country song titles (e.g., "Your Wife is Cheatin' on Us Again," and "It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night that Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long"), but I think the punk band The Cramps might have some songs well-suited to literal, photographic interpretation:

    "Eyeball in My Martini," "Naked Girl Falling Down the Stairs," "Don't Eat Stuff off the Sidewalk," "Bikini Girls With Machine Guns."

    shoot with your vision in mind...if it does not turn out change your vision to what the camera gave you...:D thats what i do.

    I listen to alot of more "indie" music which have alot of really crazy song titles/lyrics they are mostly NYC and Boston bands, as well as a few from random countries around the world that could be added to my song/photo idea list. (some titles might need translation)

    I already started to make calls to set some of these up, this is going to be a great month!!

    Can't wait to see what everyone does with this one! I'm always stunned by the creative variations on the theme people put together for these challenges. For this challenge theme the possibilities are endless.

    This is going to be a tough one. I've been thinking how can i do this? and what song?

    how in the world does someone present a photo that somebody can derive a song from it?

    its like...ok, get an America Flag for the back ground, then a farmer with a John Deer hat held to his chest covering his heart and i have the "Star Spangled Banner".

    ok, thats a easy one.... but now how would i do a Metallica song? ne_nau.gif

    seriously i wonder how important it will be in the voting, that the voter knows the actual song we are trying to present...

    so maybe i better stick with notorious songsne_nau.gif OLD MCDONALD HAD A FARM...E I e i o

    ...

    ...

    On a serious note, I think this is likely to happen on the same level as the Emulation Challenge. There's an aspect of trust. I've been thinking about what musical artist would inspire an image and wondered whether anyone would even know the artist.

    I've also wondered about the need for this to be a month challenge. Longer challenges seems to bring out more PS work than photography. No problem with that, but it's not my forte. I think my solution is going to be select an album and take a thematically consistent series of shots for each track. Maybe one will be good enough to submit.

    Well, since the title has to be the song, it's easy enough to google it.... :D

    I dunno - I keep trying to figure out how I can do "Che gelida manina" or "Winterstuerme" or something. Unfortunately, it seems that opera really digs winter instead of summer.... rolleyes1.gif (And would the artist be the composer or the singer.... hmmm..... ):lol4

    For musicals, operas, or other stage/film songs, composer would be more helpful. thumb.gif
