Invoking the Muse

As an American, one has a few choices in how to approach a decision.  Slavishly, or either out of habit or creatively with some forethought.  I was not happy with the Visual Dinner being served up this evening, so I decided on what my eyes and mind wanted to consume.  I decided I wanted music, but of the liberating kind.  Not the jarring or too demanding and complex.  No King Crimson or Dream Theater tonight.   First one that sprang to mind was STEVE HACKETT: Hungarian Horizons - Live in Budapest.

My late mentor in Photography was Galen Rowell.  I have read most of his late work.  He has a close connection to Music,  Music helps Photographers think.  The Hackett video was therapy for me to spring on new ideas.  

Many in this mailing are photographers.  Looking at lighting, closeups, errors, you imagine new photos, and that is our job.  

Music fans, this is a delightful collection, Cinema Paradiso, (my latest obsession), Concert for Munich, Blood on the Rooftops, Hands of the Priestess.  Prog Rock done Classical style with flute and keyboard.  It doesn't get any better than this.
