I just had a dream related to what I shoot. This is actually quite a common occurence - maybe I should write these down more often.

I’m somehow bound to a group of misfits in this dream - I think I’m in a detention or a prison for autistic people. They take us for daily walks around the block, always at night, and always in areas full of free people, who end up staring at us. And I always bring my camera gear on this nightly walk. In the distance there are huge ruined cities visible with my telescopic powered lens - modern cities devastated and abandoned. They look incredible through my lens, but are invisible to the naked eye. I can see enormous steel skyscrapers all rusted out; massive buildings hunched over ready to collapse, and of course, the lighting is dramatic and superb. I want to go to them to take pictures but I’m not able to leave. My friends keep asking nonchalantly if they are still taking me on my daily humiliating walks, thru neighborhoods full of people gawking and pointing at us. Every night we have our walk, and every night I stare at these surreal cities that I dream of visiting and exploring with my camera.

This was shot in southern Florida in 2006. I managed to photograph myself while flying - a difficult feat when you consider that I fly very, very fast.
