Light and darkness album
“This roots rocker shows his influences without being held back by them. The result is a fine-tuned, strong piece of roots-rock that will put a smile on your face and give you at least one reason to believe that Nashville hasn’t killed the soul of roots music. Meanwhile, he keeps things cohesive enough that you know its him, but diverse enough to ensure you don’t grow tired or weary of the album. “From free-for-all rock ‘n’ roll jaunts to tender, laid back numbers, Bunzow covers the gamut, opening up himself to you through the music. The dusty country grooves alongside this burning rock n’ roll fever catapulted by Bunzow’s love for blues and R&B, make this a rich, lively album to sink yourself into as Bunzow wins you over song after song.” “Nashville-by-way-Portland singer/songwriter John Bunzow’s Darkness and Light is a blues-infused roots-rock record, a well-produced collection of eleven songs rooted in tradition yet stylistically and lyrically, it offers up more than your average roots-rock record. Now she floats through a blue haze of pills and heroinĬhoices come easy when they’re down to none She dreams of livin’ in a big house and raisin’ a family with someone These back streets they’re like quicksand they’ll suck you down right where you stood There aren’t many second chances in this neighborhood

These cold hard city streets sure ain’t no yellow brick roadīack home her father got drunk every night One more new address since she ran away from home There’s desperate thoughts inside my head I love the power of photography when it comes to transform spaces that we already know and set them out with a special aura of mysticism able to transport you to different geographies and time lapses.Cause they don’t need the sweat from my browĪnd my friends have all left this mill town
#LIGHT AND DARKNESS ALBUM SERIES#
I like to be asked those questions as part of the idea surrounding the series is actually to provide timeless images and to make all pictures work as a part of common story but at the same time having their own world and significance. Mainly questions regarding when where taken, what time of the day, etc. Sometimes I get asked about those pictures. I’m pretty sure that at this moment it would be absolutely impossible to carry out this project as the invasion has overpassed any limit now. A hard and sometimes frustrating task due to the vast number of tourists invading many streets of the old city and making them impossible for any kind of human transit. The result is an almost cinematic, narration of the city’s old town streets, alleys and corners.
My aim is with this project is to provide a sight of Barcelona far away from its current clichés through this great set of sporadic light, available every day in our city. I adapt those sources to my needs and the light that I get when I go out in the streets to photograph.
The energy underlying my photography is based on such different sources, ranging from my personal mood to influences that come directly from the cinema, literature, music or painting. “Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri, / quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes”. The series are titled as a tribute to Ansel Adams as well as two of my black and white laboratory teachers without whom everything would’ve been much more difficult for me. The origins of the “Light and Darkness” series must be found back in my student days, when very little was known about digital photography.
