songs about roving, rambling and plain hard luck & photography from the other side …

the serenade of a man that plays a blue guitar

The man bent over his guitar / A shearsman of sort. The day was green / They said „You have a blue guitar, / You do not play things as they are“ / The man replied, „Things as they are / Are changed upon the blue guitar.“ (Rolf Kühn Unit, poem by Wallace Stevens)

    “Things as they are / Are changed upon the blue guitar.” And things as they are are changed through the lens of the camera of the photographer. And more specifically when the photographer is named Florian.
    Love the concentration of this Ronny Graupe when playing. A musician travelling far away and carrying its audience in other worlds for a time. Something we all need…
    A great capture, my friend. And a great music along!

    Jeder Ton eine Welt, die so lange existiert, wie er in uns nachklingt und unsere Empfindungen „einfärbt“.
