It was Monday, the kids were off to school, I had my iced coffee and 8 hours to dedicate to editing. So as I sat down I opened up Spotify with my favorite music playlists to keep me entertained while working. Spotify allows me to look up any song and play it over and over (and over and over)…for FREE!! It also allows me to sing along, and chair dance to songs like ‘I wanna Dance with Somebody’ by Whitney Houston – which reminds me of my days of doing air band concerts with my junior high girlfriends. (We may not have been technically 'air-banding' here but you never know what Charity is doing!)

You see we would dance around Charity’s living room…pretending we were the best singers with the most amazing dance moves, all the while swaying back and forth, hardly moving our feet and no sound coming out of our mouth just our lips moving, airing everyword. (I guess in this case the air was into my flute).

Now I long for a bar like that…well ‘long’ maybe a stretch but personally I am not much of a ‘Karaoke-er’. So I figure an air-band bar would be much more useful…I prefer to lip sync , I mean it works for Britney Spears right!? Although I may avoid the scantily clad outfits…but who doesn’t love a good air-guitar and 80’s dance moves!?
What does this have to do with photography? Well nothing really although it could make for some great photos or definitely a video!??
What it DOES have to with is emotion… I love music, the way it resonates with my inner-self and the way words make me feel something. I guess like a photo…you see a photo and it can make you feel something…happy, sad, good or bad – you know you are ALIVE when you feel!
