3-13-13 Lucky Or Unlucky?

In the dream I am running
Down a street of molasses
In the dream my feet gain no ground

I took this shot on 5/15/11 and have been working on it – on and off- ever since. I still feel that in no variant have I quite found what is the vision inside my mind.The quote above will make sense, I think, after you see the progression. (Apropos of nothing Thompson’s new album is excellent and David Bowie’s new one is spectacular).

Straight from the camera.

The second one reminds me of something out of a dream land.

  Glad to hear that. I was re-reading Alice in Wonderland when I was working on that version.

The last two capture the mist that we can’t really see in the first one, nor in the brighter two, which are pretty, but the last two show the mist, which is mysterious and cool.
