    Re: A tune for your images?

    I ask this because I've sort of recently come to terms with the fact that for some reason I tend to associate photos, particuarly black and white ones, with musical sounds. In the darkroom I judge prints by how "musical" they are, whether they makes a screetching sound or a dull nothing etc. I tend to describe images with musical terms, perhaps because the language of music is a more rigorous and objective substitute for the language of describing images (which is sort of lacking.) The problem is I don't know many musical terms so I eventually resort to describing my reaction to an image by making comparisons with a popular tune, in the hopes of getting my point across. A pleasant image to me stimulates that certain place in the back of my neck that is tickled when I hear the crescendo or hook of a great tune. A good print, with just the right contrast, density etc, to make it "brilliant" has a sort of sound associated with it. Some images just have a note associated with them. I judge other people's work by the sound effect it has -- whether it has a bluesy or classical or rock, a sad or happy or calm sound etc. I often wonder whether the music people play in the darkroom affects how they print, or vice versa.

    This, despite the fact that I know nothing about music and do not play an instrument so it is all very frustrating.

    A tune for your images?

    If I'm staring at a scene, monitor image or print and start hearing Pink Floyd, I know I like it. Most often it's Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

    I am surprised...it is the only one I know of...right off the album, I believe.

    And for printing -- just the sound of water running, thank you very much...(with the occasional beeping of the timer.)
    And while photographing, just the sound of the water in the creek will do nicely, or the hum of insects. With so much music around, I do not want it cluttered up with songs!
