Lost Life by rodeorose
FEATURED OCT 2009 JAZZED UP ART / Image shot in my home away from home, Old Town Dubrovnik, where I love to watch the pigeons. This one struck me with his despondent mood. This shot always reminded me of Art Pepper’s powerful song. I was looking tonight for Lost Life and found this video instead. One of the best pieces of music I have ever felt, takes over at around two and a half minutes…the lead in is an intriguing insight into the prison experiences of Art Pepper. The rosette window belongs to the church of St.Saviour, built between 1520-1528, and depicted in my other work below Light in the Darkness / To go to the Youtube link (in a new window), simply press CTRL and click on the video screen above. / Nikon D70s / Nikon 70-300mm lens / f/6.3 / 1/1250sec exp time / 200mm focal length / PSE editting for contrast; no crop

Moon over Bourbon Street - Sting by monocotylidono
I’ve been meaning to attempt this composite for a long time… Inspired by one of my favourite songs by Sting. It still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear the lyrics… Moon over Bourbon Street / There’s a moon over Bourbon Street tonight / I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight / I’ve no choice but to follow that call / The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all / I pray everyday to be strong / For I know what I do must be wrong / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street It was many years ago that I became what I am / I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb / Now I can never show my face at noon / And you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moon / The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast / I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans / She’s innocent and young from a family of means / I have stood many times outside her window at night / To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light / How could I be this way when I pray to God above / I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love / Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet / While there’s a moon over Bourbon Street New Orleans Streetview, 2007 – [Konica-Minolta 5D, 18-70 kit lens@35mm, f:5.6, 1/8sec (handheld), ISO-800] / Night Sky, 2009 – [Sony a350, Sigma 17-80@35mm, f:10, 30sec, ISO-100] .

The Meaning of The Blues by rodeorose
FEATURED OCT 2009 JAZZED UP ART / FEATURED OCT 2009 HISTORIC PLACES / / Blue was just the color of the sea / till my lover left me. / Blue was just a bluebird in a tree / Till she said forget me. / Blue always made me think of Summer / Cloudless Summer skies so fresh and warm. / But now the blue I see is more like Winter / Winter skies with clouds about to storm. / Blue was just the color of the sky / Till she said good-bye love. / And blue was just a ribbon for first prize / Till she said don’t cry love. / Blues were only torch songs / fashioned for impulsive ingenues. / But now I know / Too well I know / Too well I know / The meaning of the blues. Composer: Bobby Troup ( Below is a Youtube video of Keith Jarrett’s amazing rendition of this jazz standard. / / I am looking forward to visiting Dubrovnik again soon, this time for the Winter. The shots above and below were both taken in November 2008, and are among my favorites of the visit. I love the lonely deserted narrow streets, and the play of light and shadow across the walls and lamps. It was quite a beautiful moment I shared with Mick and his sister. We had been walking the Old Town, and feeling quite relaxed, and came upon a cute store selling cool hats- we had spent some time in there looking at the pork-pies, the shubaras, and dozens of other nostalgic designs, and had emerged onto the street laughing, and as our carefree laughter bounced softly across the lonely walls, standing in the doorway of the hat shop, I looked and saw the beauty in this scene, that I share with you now. Every season has its beauty, and every mood. I am interested which you might prefer, the top image or this one below, and whether I should upload this one below as well if people like these. / Nikon D70s / Nikon 30-200mm lens / f/5 / 1/60 sec / focal length 46mm / handheld/no flash / Editted PS, Photomatix. / Uncropped

I'll try to smile.. by rodeorose
FEATURED NOV 2009 THE WORLD AS WE SEE IT OR AS WE MISSED IT Animal emotions always strike me with their honest unmasked beauty. Shot at a zoo. Nikon D70s;Nikon 70-300mm lens; f/4.8; 1/400sec;180mm focal length. / -Song written by Tadd Dameron; / performed by Sarah Vaughan_ / If you could see me now / you’d know how blue i’ve been / one look is all you’d need / to see the mood I’m in / perhaps then you’d realise / I’m still in love with you. If you could see me now / you’d find me being brave / and trying awfully hard / to make my tears behave / but that’s quite impossible / I’m still in love with you. You’ll happen my way / on some memorable day / and the month will be May / for a while / I’ll try to smile / but can I play the part? / Without my heart / behind the smile… The way I feel for you / I never could disguise / the look of love is written / plainly in your eyes / I think you’d be mine again / if you could see me now. Same guy, same shoot..my Earthling.. /
