Seeking photographers and visual artists for collaboration.

[rbnyc]

I've really been enjoying making videos lately for some of my old salvaged 4-track recordings. You can see them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/68rbouchard?feature=mhee

I'd like to make 2 more. I would love, love love it if any painters, photographers, or other visual artists were interested in contributing images for the projects.

If you would like to contribute images for me to use for either of these songs, please post them here. Let me know what song the image is for and if and how you would like to be credited. Also, please let me know if I can manipulate your image or if I should use it as is.

I really hope some of you are interested. I know when I posted my videos recently, there was not a lot of interest, which I totally get. But I thought I'd just put it out there anyway.

Songs:

The Retreat: http://kiwi6.com/file/rod37j63z1

or

Jar: http://kiwi6.com/file/ikmolmxu3h

The lyrics to each are below. Feel free to ask me anything about them.


The Retreat

I am ready to make myself as dull as it takes to get some sleep.
I would give up anything for sleep, most easily friendship.
But don't I still owe for the phone bill?
And all the time driving on your gas money?

Loyalty and gratitude are for guilt lovers.
I love sleep.

But aren't I still indebted for your initial faith in me?

Loyalty and gratitude are for guilt lovers.
I love sleep.
Dead sleep winter, I love.
Winter doesn't hold me to standards of spring, lets me lie.
I need no color to apply.
Dead sleep winter.
I love sleep.


Jar

Sealed in a weekend.
Sealed in a weekend hotel.
Sealed in a cross-section, floating in a jar.
I had to leave it there.
I don't lie.
I don't lie.
I don't.

Sealed in a weekend hotel.
I have you floating in a jar.
I don't lie.
I don't lie.
I don't.

[Celebration]

1. I love slideshows, and YouTube

But my mind must work differently from yours. I first assess my photos and then come up with a song. It really is hard to figure out photos to put into a song rather than the other way around, at least for me. The only thing comparable that I have on YouTube is a bunch of bluebird photos to the Paul McCartney song "Bluebird". I was actually practicing with new slideshow software, and I hadn't even heard of the song before trying it. I have to say I like the ones you have posted.

I can't think of any photos that I have of jars or people asleep. As you can see I am a sort of literal thinker.

The slideshows I post on YouTube, other than Bluebird, sre based on all kinds of metaphysical healing things, and probably at best people in this group would be scratching their heads. They work great but of course I can't prove it. I find it valuable and I'm actually way more interested in making slideshows than I am in photography. Nobody here will understand this, but I am especially pleased with this one (visually). Although the healing part of it isn't dependent on it being visually appealing.

If you like doing affirmations, this slideshow can be played while doing affirmations,and the affirmations will work more quickly.

Also they appeal to people that like classical guitar. :)

I hope you find some photos for your creations.
