but, maybe he doesn’t exist anymore.
Maybe, I was never who I thought.
Just a ghost, a shadow, a thought….

“ I can see it again…….
Every other page there's something gone.
I need another reason to live, yeah.
I don’t even know how I lost it and now I'm sleeping with these dreams —
I can't stop playing in my head;
There's one in which I’m drowning and then
One where I'm beginning to start over new. “

Notes:
I shot these photos loosely based on the moods and feelings inspired from the photography of Bob Sala.
+ the book, “Life After God” by Douglas Coupland has been a favorite read of mine for too many years and is always a favorite to quote.
+ the paintings, photos and several other things you can see throughout this set are all other artworks that I’ve made.
+ the quotes and scribbles written all over the note papers are parts of lyrics from songs written by the featured model.
+ a lot of the objects and decorations were actually made to help along with the story line of these photos.
+ At some point in the middle of shooting, Greg turned to me and said, “dude, I feel like you’re literally just photographing my depression.” It’s random but one of the coolest things that I’ve personally heard. Maybe, it was all just a part of the moment.
