an elaborate dream
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 4 October 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
What if everything around you isn't quite what it seems?
What if all the world you think you know is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection, is that all you want to be?

Aptly named. This looks like an "I dream in color" image. It's quite splendid.

I've had some Nine Inch Nails sat on my ipod for months now and I've not once listened to them. I shall make an effort this weekend. Lovely photo, I like the deep reds.

A very cool shot with quite a bit of simplicity. Like the reduced colors and strong light.

yes!! when you decide to do color -- it is just so moving!! brilliant reds here -- a gorgeous hue -- i get a sense of the 'opening scenes' of 6 Feet Under when i look at this -- but probably because they share the same (well similar -- the gates here remind me of a cemetery) subject matter as well as wonderfully artistic depth. just gorgeous and immensely moving!! bravo!!
