“A picture can tell a thousand stories”, true enough. So let the stories be heard. I’m thinking of connecting the two worlds of photography and poetry or writings (I call ’em bubbles of the mind), where bubbles of thought are written to tell a story about the photo. Be it fiction, artistic or whatever you like. This will be a new segment in PIMP issues called Photopoem or Photopoet, I will decide later though. Or you might suggest one yourself. The photo could be the one you shot or anybody’s (make sure you asked their permission and send their particulars, name & url if any, with your submission). Or it could be the other way around, I mean, you could write something first and shot a picture that suits your writings. Hmm..bad idea. Lets stick with the first way, Interpretation Of A Photo.
One more segment I’ve thinking is Lyric Interpretation. I believe that lyrics are great writings and those lyricists are great poets. Yup..I do. Yes there’s lyrics which sucks! But I’m talking about the likes of Loloq, M.Nasir, Ramli Sarip, Dylan,Cobain, Hetfield,Cornell, Bono, Hendrix, Marley..to name a few. Maybe I could contact them (the ones that still alive..duh!), and sort of interview them by email. Hmm..that could be great. Or you can help me with that too? But at the moment, we start by interpret the lyrics ourselves first aight?
I’m also thinking of asking you guys to recite some poetry or maybe sing em, with your musical instruments or shout ’em, read ’em your way ok. It could be your poetry or writing or your friend’s or anybody for the matter. We then compile it and make it available online, in audio or even video like Youtube etc. Or burn it on a cd and make a nice cover and all and we could even sell it or better, give ’em free with each PIMP issue.
Ok guys hope you all could send some ideas. PIMP Volume 005 is in it’s final preparation, I’ve done the cover and stuff. Right now compiling and choosing the bubbles (writings) before the final editing.
Have a great week ahead!
