Broken Shadows

As Fredrik said, music and photography to me also is very connected. I remember when I went to see the exhibition "On Verra Bien", Christer Strömholm, right after he had died. When I looked at the pictures, I heard music. It wasnt just like that I heard a particular song, it was music inside my head that popped up as a saw his images. I wish I had written it down... :)

Well, you asked for music Fredrik, and here it is! The song is called Broken Shadows, Ornette Coleman from the bootleg "The Belgrad Concert" and inspired me to do these 2 pictures:





And of course concert photography is fun too, although I prefer to listen to the music. :)
Well here is one anyway, Sonny Simmons at Glenn Miller Café in Stockholm:

    Have you listened to the Ornette Coleman song? Would be fun to hear if you like it or not.
