Snapshot a Song

"Musical Snapshot Pictorials"

simple concept: combine an interesting picture and a favorite song to produce a linking audio/visual painting.


simple illustration: If you are listening to a song at the time, and decide to procure a search for a cool photo that relates to the title, lyrics, or feeling of the particular song, that's essentially how you can contribute to the thread. Also, if you come across an interesting picture that makes you instantly think of a certain song, this is an acceptable alternative method to associate your aural & ocular senses, so go ahead and post them both.



simple rules: The rules are virtually maleable in all instances, depending on your tastes; all that I ask is that you be as topical as you can in your combinations, (e.g. don't post a picture of an orange and the song, Rambling Man, without a good explanation) please conform to the policy of the TFP and do not post pictures of kids, I don't want this to degrade quickly into all titties and bums, so please hold off on the provocative nudity until page 2 (after 50 replies or so). My most important rule: Be as creative as you can, and revel in the merriment of good tunes and keen art.


simple resources: As a starting point for picture-scavengers, you can try social photography sites like either Picasa, flickr, deviantart, ffffound, photobucket,
and so on, finding your own niche for similar sites that provide tons of visual content, integrated with a search funtion.
For those that don't know where to start on finding that particular song of theirs, you can try searching within YouTube, Grooveshark, Dailymotion,
or you can consult this article for more ideas: Eight (and a half) free Web music players | Webware - CNET.
Conversely, you can upload your songs to sites like eSnips, imeem or DivShare and compile your own playlists from there.
