A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover

ABOUT THE PHOTO

San Francisco... What does a love song have to do with a city? I fell in love with a guy that moved to SF. I followed him and fell even more in love with the city. The thing with the guy didn't last. But my love for the city was real. San Francisco did everything to trick me. This art-piece on this flat was a sign to me that there was something between us.

Now, every time I hear this song, I feel that San Francisco was my almost lover. He made me fall in love with him. He showed the best side of himself. I strolled around the streets, hung out with my new friends, enjoyed the weather and the technical climate.

In the end, I had to leave because my 3 months were up. That kinda hurt...

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

  2. Only one song per person, per post/Photo Star.
  3. Each Photo Star will choose their winner.

music

the original video is pure awesome but let's not lose focus. before watching it imagine that the song is about the photography journey and how we should enjoy the ride. And that it is playing in the background while the girl looks through old memories.

Great post @r00sj3 fun to get to know you better.

can i do all in one? this song find me in the days i was finishing Black light body art video and i immediately thought it needs to be the song for that photos. I can't really say why but it was a perfect fit for me. The song is Stephanie Schneiderman - Oxygen

I don't think any explanation is needed for this one! : )

When I saw this woman sitting alone looking out to the sea, it immediately reminded me of Celine Dion's All by Myself. We were heading back to the car and I quickly snapped the photo before we drove off.

Few things represent the cold war as much as the Berlin Gate.. and this song:

4th!!

Chris and I used to listen to M83 We Own The Sky and dream of snowboarding in Canada, years later we made than dream a reality. I took this photo of Chris as we were walking back to our lodge after a day's boarding, the light and atmosphere was so amazing and all I can hear is this song when I look at this photograph.

I may or may not make a post for this one. Depends on how much I feel like sharing. The cruelty and chaos of humanity is very difficult for me to comprehend sometimes and it makes me feel very alone and wanting my mom.

Winner! I love that you were totally vulnerable posting this!!

Thought you and your week would appreciate this one.

I run an in person 48hr competition called Photography Decathlon.
@derekkind and his team have won a couple times.

So this picture from that event makes me think of this song.

Heck any competition pictures are best edited to this song! Right?

Nice try... but no win this time ;)

You say that like you just wanted to spite me. It was hilarious and you know it!!

I am so hurt that you would think that I am capable of doing that to you ;)

Bahahaha. :p

Jazz is a genre I can't imagine my tracklist without. This music by Swedish Emil Brandqvist Trio matches with my shots in the woods.

5th!

Yay!

btw... I adore Ludovico Einaudi. He's my second favourite after Yann Tiersen (who I saw play live!)

I love the snow and riding through it on a snowmobile was like a dream, gorgeous and beautiful!

This moody road trip photo:

And this song:

I love how Stornoway almost always refers to traveling, driving, going on, vehicles (boats, cars...). Their music is a perfect match with my love for being on the road in whatever form or shape myself. Their songs are never happy, and so is my photographic style - I love moody landscapes and darker edits more than bright and happy ones.

So these songs actually influence me, my mood, and are a great background to my editing process.

Third!!
