Synesthesia #7 Imagined Album Covers of Lomography with @PMONROE

In this edition of Synesthesia, we are featuring a member of the Lomography community, Paul (@PMONROE), who has shared a wonderful collection of photographs and music recommendations.

The theme of this edition revolves around how music and photos can act as channels to help us reconnect with lost emotions and memories. In Paul’s opinion, photographs can remind us of our personal growth and how far we have come as individuals. Similarly, he believes that music has the power to bring back collective memories and that certain songs can signify the journey and relationships we share with others. When combined, these two mediums can create a powerful and enjoyable experience of the past. Here are Paul's photo and music selections!

After spending half the day wandering around Tongyeong, Michelle made a comfy pillow with her padded backpack and laid up on top of a wide wall that overlooked the marina.

Songs To Listen To:
John Park (존박) - Daydreamer
Joseph Arthur - Honey and the Moon
Beck - True Love Will Find You in the End
