How to Say It With an Image?
The words: I Live Freedom
The image???
To see 4 tries - click here
Okay, a picture is worth a thousand words - but which picture is that? And then, even if it's worth a thousand words, does it fit with the words? Or does the picture evoke something different from the words? And if it's different, does it add or take away?
Arghhhh.
The words - often so easy, so fast, for me.
Everything else ... that takes much longer.
I Live Freedom.
What image expresses that?
Often, an image is close - and yet so far. The expression of the face doesn't quite do it. The body movement doesn't quite do it. Something isn't quite right.
The words say it. The picture holds back. Or it says - to me anyway - something like, "I'm trying to look like I'm living freedom." Not good enough.
It's a big thing. To bring something fully into the world.
Voice - the same thing happens there. The words are, "I live freedom." But saying them - that's less easy. So easy to make the words sound faked, forced. Of course the words are being acted. I'm not just saying the words, expressing something I'm feeling.
So, okay, the words are being acted - but still, how to express, with voice, that feeling of freedom?
Anyway, below: try 1, 2, and 3, and 4 - to get an image that expresses, for others as well as me, I Live Freedom.

Words to express stuff to do with music,
in this case finding the ideal image,
the right image,
or anyway, one that is good enough,
that says in an image what the words say -
I Live Freedom.
Big question. What's the ideal image, right image
for this song on freedom? Big image search.
Try after try. And finally ....
