1195 - This City Never Sleeps

Here’s another series of updates, posted while I’m on the train. It’s Friday by now, this is an image from Wednesday. Not my best image, but as I had been working for 11 hours, there was not much to choose from 🙂

The Song of the Day is “This City Never Sleeps” from the 1983 Eurythmics album “Sweet Dreams”. Hear it on YouTube.

Two thoughts: I wouldn't apologize for any of your images, they all have value and I'm always interested to see what you post. They always show me something I like. Second, with the song of the day: is the connection driven instinctively, or do you think about the connection before you post/choose an image?

Thanks. While I take photographs or even during post-processing, the title or the Song of the Day play no role whatsoever. This only happens when I sit down to write. The first thing I do is to associate words. I try to find words that match either aspects of the image or of its genesis. Then I search for these words in a file with a list of all my songs. If something inspires me, then I search for an online copy via Google video search. If I find something, this is it. It's really an afterthought, although the whole process may consume more time than the whole photographic part.
