Narrative Photo

A picture is worth a thousand words and to me this photograph screams out a story. Why is this man wearing a lamp shade? Is it even a lamp shade? Why is he staring at the wall, or sitting in the street? These questions plus a thousand give this photograph life. Many people  will look at this photo and think so many different things. Many stories can be created off this single man with a "lamp" on his head. I love this photograph because it leaves you wondering, makes you look twice, and allows your mind run with ideas. Something so strang and simple like this photograph can make something to complex and real in your mind.

Its in the words

 After searching for a speaking poem I really fell in love with Buddy Wakefields "Convenience store."
It really grab my attention to simple questions we ask ourselves everyday if we don't know where we see our lives going, or we see someone and wonder what they have planned for there life. Can't getting everything in life we has simple as a convenience store. Why does the women working at the store have to watch people go in and out to there busy lives everyday. This really grabbed my attention and didn't lose it till the end, its good to listen to for questions you know you ask your self every day and want a simple "convenient" answer for.

Music Video Poem

Soundtrack of Life 

It's an emotion, it's a means of expression,

no words to describe it. 

With a instrument or pencil,

a universal language that puts a memory to an emotion.

The most powerful tool in war of society, 

by connecting and bringing joy to people. 

Makes you want to kill, makes you want to love, 

puts you to sleep, and wakes you up. 

Understanding the world through prisoner of music, 

it doesn't change you, you change it.

Only thing that goes right to your soul, 

music is god speaking to us. 

Music is the soundtrack of life. 

You either have it or don't,

creativity is the hunger. 

So much to learn, so far to go, 

waiting for signals to come. 

No one sees what you see, 

let it come when it comes.

Have courage to be in the moment, 

it has to be bigger then you.

Tune into the world, take in inspiration, 

music is there in the universe. 

Music is the soundtrack of life. 

Surround yourself with others creativity,

do things you don't think your capable of. 

Think on your feet, 

work has to fill your image. 

Develop courage to go beyond limits,

communication and collaboration creates beauty. 

Music has to be more important then your ego, 

the hole is greater then the part. 

To understand others, then make them better, 

it's the ability to bring out the best in each other. 

It can not be selfish, 

music is communication. 

Music is the soundtrack of life. 

Waves of energy coming from the crowd, 

nothing else can give you that feeling.

Want applause, want reaction, 

shake things up, tear things up, 

get people to feel something. 

Connection on your own terms,

obligation to do the best you can. 

Get into the zone, 

you give and they give back. 

It's who you think you are, the audience thinks you are, 

and who you really are. 

Music is the spotlight on you. 

Music is the soundtrack of life. 

Remember where you came from, 

no matter where you are,

your on stage.

Cherish and express feeling, 

use it for good. 

Discovery with tons of energy,

that can fail any time. 

Adding something of value to others, 

music helps in a healthy way. 

Music is the soundtrack of life.
