Capture the Lyric ~ January 2012

For quite some time now, I've been wanting to find a way to combine my love of photography with my love of music.  I always find myself looking at something or someone and instantly hear a song or lyric in my head that best describes what I am seeing/feeling.  Conversely, when I hear a song, I draw a clear picture in my head of what those lyrics are saying.  But, it was one of those thoughts that I stored in the back of my mind and said, "Maybe I'll give that a shot... later."

If you follow me on Facebook, you might have notice an new photo album which popped up - "Project 52".  It's a little side challenge I have taken on this year to photograph something each week with a different theme.  Week #2's theme was "Illustrate a Song" and I thought, "Wow!  This is exactly what I have been wanting to do!" and now this challenge has made me actually take action.

Now that I got the kick-in-the-butt I needed, I am happy to bring you - Capture the Lyric!  This will be another side project of mine in which I will challenge myself to put into a photo a song or lyric which inspires me.  My goal is to do one photo per month and I hope I am able to do so.  In pursuing this challenge, I also hope to let you all into another part of my life that is so near and dear to me - my love of music.  Music has been a huge part of my life for many years and in a way, as helped shaped me into the person I am today.  From hanging around at friends' band practices, to rocking out at their shows, to crowd surfing at Warped Tour in Randall's Island, music has and always will be a part of me.  I also hope to be able to introduce you to some awesome bands you may have never heard of before!

So, without further ado, I give you this month's "Capture the Lyric" which comes from the song "Heels Over Head" by Boys Like Girls, off of their self-titled album.
