📷📸 Some day you will close this book for the last time. Slammed shut, dust erupts into the air. No more words written or read, the contents left there to figure it out themselves. A quiet eternity passes until some curious soul stumbles upon it and wonders what these lines meant to you. #photography

📷📸 This empire has such potential. Its lords haven't got a clue what happens down here in the gutters and alleys, wouldn't know true soul if it bit them in the ass. I will own all of this some day, and when I do, my, how you will be spoiled. #photography #art #nightphotography

📷📸 The machine is stuck on a single speed. Things go by too quickly to understand, but as the video feed fast-forwards you can just barely make out a frame or two where things make sense. Flashes of clarity amongst the snow caused by generation loss. #photography #art #liminalspace #michigan

📷📸 Can you feel the warmth and welcoming of the midnight sun
Generations of labor and seas of blood went into its construction
Our minds photosynthesize its beams into ideas
Food for thought
A new kind of jungle
Our very own Darien Gap
We won't be escaping any time soon

📷📸 All of the fuel has been spent, I'm completely exhausted. So what are we running on? Is someone pulling us along, or is our will just that strong? Whatever it is, best not take it for granted. Let's concentrate on getting out of this storm first. #photography #art #nightphotography #liminalspace

📷📸 Threading nerve through the eye of the needle, pulling it taught as to feel the steel intimately. Weave a cloak to conceal us both, covered, hidden from the prying eyes who would guard this place and many like it. They do not know the value of this place and do not respect it. #photography #art

📷📸 When you look up at your god do you ever wonder if he's lonely? To be asked for so much, without equal, no peers or confidants? What insanity that must stir in somebody. What kind of world would they create after being driven into such madness? #photography #art
