I am going to use this secondary blog to showcase some of my photography.
The name of the blog comes from a Tori Amos song called Gold Dust. The lyrics are gorgeous as is the song. Its a song about how precious life is and holding on to that. Freezing those memories and how those memories make us who we are. So this blog will be about my photographs so that later I can look back and remember this time in my life.
sights and sounds
pull me back down
another year
i was here
i was here
whipping past
the reflecting pool
me and you
skipping school
and we make it up as we go along
we make it up we go along
you said -
you raced from langley -
pulling me underneath
a cherry blossom canopy
-do i have-
of course i have,
beneath my raincoat,
i have your photographs.
and the sun on your face
i'm freezing that frame
and somewhere alfie cries
and says "enjoy his every smile
you can see in the dark
through the eyes of laura mars"
how did it go so fast
you'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll
understand
we held gold dust
in our hands
sights and sounds
pull me back down
another year
i was here
i was here
gaslights glow in the street
(flickering past)
twilight held us in her palm
as we walked along
and we make it up as we go along
we make it up as we go along
letting names
hang in the air
what color hair
(auburn crimson)
autumn knowingly stared
and the day that she came
i'm freezing that frame
i'm freezing that frame
and somewhere alfie smiles
and says "enjoy her every cry
you can see in the dark
through the eyes
of laura mars"
how did it go so fast
you'll say as we are looking back
and then we'll understand
we held gold dust
in our hands
in our hands
