Music has always been an important part of my life. Besides photography, music is my other love. The other man perhaps. If I ever choose to take a different route in life, music will be involved. I have never been the one to think logically. My husband is a rational thinker. It’s always how are you going to get there,from all the way over here? I’m going to ride a magical unicorn and fly past the cotton candy clouds. What’s not rational about that really?
Music inspires me. I listen to it while processing every session I do. I feel that it puts me in a creative place where I take a nice photo and turn it into a popping piece of art. Every blog I write,I have my Pandora station playing.The “are you still listening.. we try not to play to an empty room” pop up regular interrupts my work flow. I’ll tell you when I’m done pandora. Geeze. In all honestly, I really love Pandora. I am thankful for such a great free music player.
When I was going over the list of things I needed for my site,I came across the music question. Should I have music on my website or not? Being the non-logical thinker I am,I blurted out “of course I need music”. After spending time focusing on the pro’s and con’s of both. I decided not to have music on the main part of my site. People view websites at work,people are normally listening to their own music,sometimes speakers are turned up too loudly,maybe it’s not the type of music they like,maybe they can’t stand folk music… There were too many con’s over the only “It would make me happy” pro I had listed.
I came to a compromise and chose to put music on my Lea Who Page. Music belongs in my about me section. I had to think of what song should I use? I spent hours upon hours searching for the right music. I came across an artist in Greenville, IL. All great artists come from Greenville. The singer/songwriters name was Steven Deeds. He’s sings the type of songs that tell us to never give up on love. Being a wedding photographer I wholeheartedly believe that. His new EP, Sincerely Yours, Love & Heartache was released this September. Go ahead and check out his music! I think it’s important for all types of artists to support one another. Check him out,buy,enjoy,befriend him.
Let’s show local artists that we support them.
