Photo Inspiration Project 2015
The Society For The
Advancement of Hearing Loss is collecting songs inspired by the photos on this
page. If you feel inspired to record an MP3 it will be featured on their
website. Feel
free to record as many or as few songs as you would like. There are no rules on
the end result: you can do spoken word, a 20 minute tribute, 60 second snippet…
Questions and answers
When is it due? April Fools day, this year - May 1, 2015

PHOTO 1
This picture was taken near the city of Morondava on the west coast of Madagascar. There lies an ancient forest of baobab trees. Unique to Madagascar, the endemic species is sacred to the Malagasy people, and rightly so. Some of the trees here are over a thousand years old. It is a spiritual place, almost magical.

The 1958 Safety Car
Walter C. Jerome of Worcester, Massachusetts was a man possesed by a mission to make the world’s safest car. In the end, he failed to advance auto safety but Jerome’s segmented sedan might easily qualify as the world’s strangest car.
Primarily concerned with head-on collisions, Jones split his car in two, hoping the front section would absorb collisions, leaving the passenger cabin untouched. Using a heavily modified 1948 Hudson sedan as a rear section, he built a raised turret to provide the driver with maxium visbility, a goal he furthered with a 360 degree wrap-around screen that constantly rotated past built-in squeegees to wipe it clean.
Wrap-around rubber bumpers protected the Sir Vival’s bodywork from errant motorists in slow speed collisions but they were just one of Jerome’s innovations. The Sir Vival was years ahead with seat belts, a padded interior, and built-in roll bars..
