📷📸 When the terror strikes
You can run
But as long as their occultor stands
The shadow will be waiting for you
And when it ensnares you
True darkness will reveal itself
Darker than dark

📷📸 I am thankful every day
That you don't remember what happened here
Why don't we go home now?
Better times are waiting for us there

📷📸 Having trouble finding a space? This table is reserved, sorry. We're having an engagement party. He's getting married to his job.
The old ball & chain, you know how it is.
Come back when you find someone truly special
Who will bleed you dry
While you smile for every second of it.

📷📸 It must be so frightening for a little prey animal like you
To be lost in the woods like this
Let me take you under my wings
Where you will be kept safe and pampered
Until I succumb to boredom or hunger
And love you even more

📷📸It is the most awful task
To acknowledge
That you must use your own wings
To fly yourself out of here
Lest your roots settle
And become stuck here with me, forever

📷📸 A new flavor of misery is in stores for a limited time
Grab it before it's gone for good
As it slides down your throat and dissolves your teeth
You recall a time when you've tasted this before
A recycled experience brought back from the past
For a limited time only

Feeling lost? Consider yourself lucky that you're feeling anything at all. There are people who have lost everything in this jungle. Nothing in here will jump out and get you, but that doesn't make it safe. One lapse in concentration, one wrong turn and it's over. #photography #art

📷📸 Whoever this is, they keep looking at me, and no matter how many times I ask them not to they just keep staring. I've given up. Looks like we're in this together. #photography #art #selfie #selfportrait

Maybe they don't think at all. Do you people just coast through life, sails open, catching whatever winds will steer you? I wish I could be so brave, but no such luck. Maybe all this dread is itself my destiny. Much to think about.

I just wish I still fit in the old places.

📷📸 It's hard to believe, but we really are on our own now. Pushed out of the nest like a fledgling chick. Everyone seems so confident, like they were ready for it straight out of the womb, but here I am still quivering and panicking over what direction I should be heading. #photography #art

📷📸 Someone owns this canvas already
But that shouldn't stop us from creating
Take your magic brush and make yourself known
The rules of engagement are clear
Finders keepers Losers weepers
Keep your eyes peeled for any creepers
I'll have your back but make it quick #photography #art #nightphotography

📷📸 A knight of the arts.
A hunter who seeks prey many cannot see.
A misunderstood outlaw.
Call yourself whatever you want. Your fate is the same either way.

📷📸 To be to be hated by someone who doesn't even know you exist, despised simply for being, watching them jump at even the implication that you're still breathing. I know the feeling. So keep riling them up, because you'll always have an ally in me. #photography #art #nightphotography

📷📸 Today is your time to mourn, but it is not time to cry. That will come later. When you stumble upon something of hers that she lost that she will never find again. #photography #art #liminalspace #nightphotography

📷📸 A distant battle rages on
Its outcome will decide your fate
You hear no shots, see no viscera, will not be invited to see the graves of your heroes
The only signs are the fires on the horizon
And the approaching thunder
If only there was something you could do

📷📸 Stay inside. Keep the locks tight. Don't rock the boat. The coast looks clear but it's just an illusion. It's getting so hot in here but it's nothing compared to their burning torches. I've made so many friends in here, it's good enough for me. #photography #art #nightphotography #liminalspace

📷📸 Why can't things ever be easy? A solid path forward is all that I ask. Just one continuous assured trip through everything, where you know exactly where you'll end up and when. Instead we have to cut through weeds and brush and blow through rock ourselves. What a bother. #photography #art

📷📸 There are more than a few spirits watching over this place. When you are ready, they will reveal themselves to you. Just make sure your eyes, ears and heart are open. #photography #art
