Photography: Dreams, in the Land of the Dead

Only the young remember to dream, what the hell happened to us as we grew older?

We grow fat with complacency, get beaten into submission in the 'Rat Race', chasing the (insert country not threatened by war, famine, drought) Dream. We forget what it is like to live. We put things that could have gotten us nearer to our dreams till tomorrow... 'cause there's always tomorrow, ain't it?

Take a ride on the subway\metro of any major city during rush hour and you'll see dead people, standing, sitting, sleeping on trains with lifeless eyes. Shut in their own misery. Then you see this young boy, lookin' up, all glassy-eyed... Hey, fer all I know, he could be day dreaming of a super model or the lastest Xbox game. But I'd like to think there's more to his glassy-eyed look. I'd like to remember that there's more to just money to keep our world going. I'd like to remember that there's always hope, to whatever dreams we may have.

To all those still dreaming, those there are that much closer to their dreams, good fer you :D
To those already living their dreams, damn you!!! We'll join you soon. ;)

Was wracking me noggin' fer a title to this piece. My wife took one look and said 'Hope', so 'Hope it is. Fitting title?
Then there's the 'Impending Doom' suggestion from Rogue...

A series of abstracts. These are macros of those water features that err... feature a huge ball that's rotating on water jets pumpin' from underneath.
