I am not a young guy. I'm not old either. For whatever reasons my musical tastes run from the sixties through today. I switch up what I listen to quite often. I try not to get stuck on anything for too long. What I listen to does vary with my mood and my current situation. It also does influence what I shoot in many ways.

One of my favorite albums (CD in today's world) from the 80s is Avalon by Roxy Music. There is one song on there that has struck a cord with me recently and I have been listening to it over and over. It reminds me of someone. Just one of those things. When I put the disc in about a week or so ago, I remembered how much I liked the song "To Turn You On" on many levels. It is soothing, it paints a vivid picture for me and now, I find myself associating the song to this someone. I'd love to do a nighttime shoot in a softly lit room high above 5th Ave... better yet, perhaps just be there for the experience I see in these words:

I could show you in a word
If I wanted to
A window on a world
With a lovely view
From close up inside a single room
With an open book aside
Like you read in school
It´s so easy, believe me
When you need fun
I do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
It´s raining in new york
On fifth avenue
And off broadway after dark
Love the lights don´t you
I could walk you through the park
If you´re feeling blue
Or whatever
Spring summer whenever
Winter through fall
I´d do anything to turn you on
Anything to turn you on
I could leave you as you were
If I wanted to
Then I wonder is it fair
Now you´re on your own
Who cares about you
Except me, God help me
When things go wrong
I do anything to turn you
Must phone me, you know me
When things go wrong
I do anything to turn you on.

Think I'll go give it another listen...
