Richard from CK Ponderings and I have just completed our sixth collaboration. If you would like to see the results, please go to Richard’s blog.
Here’s a sneak preview of my image to whet your appetite…
Chelsea Morning, 2012
Chelsea Morning is the second track on Joni Mitchell’s 1996 compilation, Hits. It’s also on Clouds.
This is the last of my Joni Mitchell posts. But there’s still time to vote on the future direction of this blog in the day-before-yesterday’s post.
As always thanks also to John Pindar and Deanne who set this whole titling thing in motion. You may also want to check out CK Ponderings, where Richard is naming his photographs after Pet Shop Boys songs.
Borderline, 2012
This was taken in Clock House, UK.
Borderline is the tenth track on Joni Mitchell’s 2002 album, Travelogue. At the time of release, Joni said this was going to be her last album. It wasn’t. Both Herbie Hancock and Billy Preston play on this album and it’s a beaut.
If you’re into exercising your democratic rights, there’s still time to vote on the future direction of this blog in yesterday’s post.
Harry’s House/ Centerpiece, 2012
Harry’s House/ Centerpiece is the eighth track on Joni Mitchell’s 1975 album, The Hissing of Summer Lawns.
All this week and some of next week I’ll be using Joni Mitchell songs as the titles of my posts and photographs. But all things must pass as someone with a big beard once said, and I fancy pilfering my titles from a different medium. And I think it’s time for a bit of democracy in action here on The Future etc…Hence the poll below. As with the other poll I ran I will stand by the majority decision (by the end of play on Wednesday).
Just to let you know, in an act of flagrant revisionism, I retitled my last but one post. The original title was an experiment in opposites that did not work. Now retitled in a much more appropriate manner.
As always thanks also to John Pindar and Deanne who set this whole titling thing in motion.

Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire, 2012
This was taken at Waterloo East station (platform A), London, UK.
Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire is the second track on Joni Mitchell’s 1972 album, For The Roses.
This post was originally called Help Me, which is the second track on Joni Mitchell’s 1974 album, Court and Spark. Personally I like the delirium of this track – Joni sings, “Help me/ I think I’m falling/ in love again,” and it sounds like she’s not only falling but drowning (in sound). I changed the title because Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire is far superior for this shot. So there! The magic of blogging.
In France They Kiss on Main Street, 2012
This was taken on York Road, London, UK.
In France They Kiss on Main Street is the first track on Joni Mitchell’s 1975 album, The Hissing of Summer Lawns. If you’ve never heard it, you really should (described by Wikipedia as “not as radio-friendly as her earlier work”). Tempting, non?
I’m off to watch John Lydon (Johnny Rotten as was) on a political panel programme called Question Time. Originally broadcast last night, now available in the UK on the BBC’s iPlayer. Apparently, he has some interesting things to say about banks…
For the remainder of this week and maybe a bit of next I’ll be using Joni Mitchell songs as my titles.
The Circle Game, 2012
This was taken in London, UK. I know, I know…
The Circle Game is the final track on Joni Mitchell’s 1970 album, Ladies of the Canyon. Very good it is too.
