How it started
While pre-visualizing the image prior to placing the camera and
tripod into position, I often “hear” the visualized image “singing”
to me as if part of a song I’ve heard before. Sometimes the
tune just flows, and so naturally does the image. Other times,
the image is singing out, but I don’t recognize the song. I
may struggle for many minutes finding the right angle, the right
composition, the right placement, and in fact may walk away, only to
return a minute or two later to start over. Eventually I
capture the image that has presented itself, and only later does the
song really come forth.
Such was the case with an image of the forest alongside a mountain
stream in Rocky Mountain National Park. I looked it over from
many different angles, walked away, came back, tried different
lenses, and finally captured the image I wanted, though really
wasn’t sure why. On the way home, while listening to the song
“You’re the One” from Brad and Kathy Fitch, the phrase “where forest
meets oceans and rocks take their cue” struck me. That forest
image immediately came to mind. And with that, so did the
development of this video.
An Environmental Love Song video
This photography music video contains 73 of my nature images
timed to the music of “You’re the One”, from Brad and Kathy Fitch.
Each image was carefully selected to match the words not so much
from a lover’s perspective, but from a love song’s perspective
to Mother Earth. You will see wildflowers, lakes,
rivers, mountains, sun, the moon, butterflies, elk, big horn sheep,
magpies and white tail deer, all while listening to a wonderful
song. You will find the transitions enjoyable,
captivating, and inspiring. The one minute video clip provides an illustration of what is
further available to you.
The Musicians
Brad and Kathy Fitch reside in Estes Park,
Colorado, performing nightly throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
You’ll often find them hosting ‘campfire sing-alongs’ each week in
Bond Park, downtown Estes Park. They also perform
their annual (and excellent) John Denver tribute with their TropiCowboy band. Professional singers, songwriters, and performers
in their own right, Kathy and Brad have recorded six CDs of their
own wonderful original music as well as a John Denver tribute CD.
Their music and performance schedule are available on the
TropiCowboy
web site.
