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
