#1 Visual Soundscapes: Mosques and Tea
A Street Photography + Fiel Recording Series
Alright!!!
As promised, I’m starting a series where I share some of the soundscapes of the places I get to wander and photograph.
I would tell you to close your eyes, but then you won't see the photos -no pun intended.
That’s why I kindly invite you to see the photographs first, then listen to the audio, and finally see the photos again while listening to the audio. Please, think if something about your perception has changed in the process.
I’d be thrilled to know what you feel, so please share your thoughts in the comments below.
HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!!!

I really like that! I prefer listening to the 1st audio clip (1min long) while looking at all the photos.
I've been experimenting with this for a long time (without much outcome) but I like the idea of recording sound with the photos. Fujifilm cameras have this feature, actually. I started long ago, in analogue times, when I would carry a small tape recorder with me and record sounds along with the photos I took . I loved it! But never finished a project, because... Well, I did show the photos while playing the sounds to some friends, but it was rather difficult to find the right spot in a 90min tape for a photo. Anyway, I am glad you played with this idea, I'm a big fan!!!
To answer your question about the experience: I expected different sounds in the mosque, so the muezzin was a nice surprise (expected prayers murmured half-qiietly) and the B&W version of the photos took me by surprise as well. Very positively! Great twist! The teahouse sounds were what I had expected. Sound, in general, give an extra dimension to the photos. Thanks so much for sharing!
