Lyrical Photo Series
Songs and poems can be great inspiration for photography. The detail in both leads the imagination of all to visualize the words being said, and photography is a great way to bring that to life. In this creative challenge, we were tasked with creating a photo series based on text. I knew that I wanted to choose song lyrics to take photos too, but it was quite challenging to find the perfect one. I listened to so many of my liked songs on Spotify, looking closely at the lyrics and picking out ones that resonated with me. In the end I chose a song called “Kissing Girls” by Grady. The song leads through memories of a person in someone’s life. A trip through someone’s memories can lead to many similar feelings between people. I hope that my trip to Weber’s Farm allows a glimpse into a date that anyone can feel or remember. Play the song as you scroll through the photo series with the lyrics side by side.

One… Two… One, two, three
You've got cash, but I've only got my card
I might crash staring at you in the car
Tonight's been nice 'cause I kissed you at your door
And if I didn't see you anymore
Then I could get by thinking 'bout you in that shopping cart
'Cause I took a picture of that smile and stuck it in my heart
I don't know too much about you, but of what I do so far
There's nothing not to love about you, darling, hey
You've got flights, but I could get you from the curb
Tell me, what's your type? 'Cause we both love kissing girls
Let's eat dinner twice, 'cause nothing's fucking with those curves
This has been one good night; if it's our last one together
Then I could get by thinking 'bout you in that restaurant
'Cause I took a picture of that smile and stuck it in my heart
I don't know too much about you, but of what I do so far
There's nothing not to love about you, darling
There's nothing not to love about you, darling, hey
