in life, photography

Moments#3

My last week was crazy stuffed with work, unbelievable short bedtimes in impersonal and desolate sterile hotel rooms – I was more than busy with my customers. Nevertheless it was a good week with some very quiet moments before and after the coaching.

As always I had my camera with me.

Photoessay. 27 October 2019. Frauenfeld, Zurich, Bern; Switzerland.

Before the coaching. After the coaching.

Moon over Bourbon Street, Moon over Bern

Copyright© Sting. Moon over Bourbon Street. Album: ‘The Dream of the Blue Turtles’. Published 1985.

btw: The original ‘Moon over Bourbon Street’ music video has some beautiful black and white scenes, really worth watching.

Lyrics of ‘Moon over Bourbon Street’:

There’s a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I’ve no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights the people and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over bourbon street It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you’ll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I’ve the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over bourbon street She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She’s innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you’ll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there’s a moon over bourbon street
