PHOTO JENNY

I've kind of been lacking direction with my photo taking lately, hence the lack of posts. But inspiration has finally arrived, thanks to The Ritas and Peter Blake exhibition at The Lowry.

I've been absorbing so much creativity lately, mainly by going to lots and lots of gigs, I felt like I needed to put some of it back out there... and so this project was staring me in the face. Nothing earth-shatteringly original about it, but it's giving me some direction and purpose for taking pictures, so hopefully something good will come out of it at some point...

It's simple concept: I choose a great lyric and I take a picture (or find one from the archives) to illustrate it. Then I'll share the results. And if you have a lyric that you want me to try and encapsulate in an image, I'm up for the challenge!

So here goes...

1 I'll take a picture of you
Picture: Me with Mr Nicholas Wire at National Treasures signing, HMV Manchester, October 2011 (thanks to @littlebabyfran for taking the pic)
Lyric: Enola/Alone - Manic Street Preachers

2 Everyday is like sunday
Picture: Blackpool, February 2011
Lyric: Everyday is Like Sunday - Morrissey

P.S. Photo Jenny is a Belle & Sebastian song, so it seemed like an apt title (and I'll use #PhotoJenny when I tweet new pics) x
