It's hackneyed non-speak if you happen to work in Corporate America. So much so people don't even say it anymore. But it's a great word.

After yesterdays post I was thinking a lot about the interaction between imagery and music. Or any sense and music. Or memory and music. The sights I saw when I was hiking were often gorgeous and sublime. But that doesn't come through in the photos I posted along side the main post yesterday. Partly that's because I'm not a nature photographer. I haven't invested much time in how to capture a wooded scene at just the right moment, in just the right light. I also am not skilled at the particular photoshop tricks that make a nature photograph gorgeous and sublime. It's not something that has ever interested me.

But another part of why some of the what I saw and felt in that forest didn't come through is that a lot of it came from the sound track that was playing in my head. And which I was listening to as I prepared those photographs. That music colored and textured what I was seeing, and thus, how I felt about it.

One of the things I used to do before I bought my camera was little pieces featuring music and moving video imagery. Not unlike Pablo Korona's piece. I'm wondering whether I might want to do something like that at some point...
