“Use the wings of the flying Universe, Dream with open eyes; See in darkness.” —Dejan Stojanovic
With this series, a visual dreamer gives flight to timeless love letters in the wings, among other paper-thin promises of unfading beauty, while a wishful thinker stretches the envelope.
We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories. Some take us forward, they’re called dreams. —Jeremy Irons

On behalf of the visual dreamer, merci bien, David!
To quote Chaplin, after watching the film, Barry Lyndon, “Beautiful, beautiful.” Well done, as always, E. Sum
Very kind, George. Thank you. I didn’t know Chaplin was a fan of Kubrik’s films, and but no doubt the converse was also true. ‘2001: A Space Oddyssee” is like “Modern Times” without the laughs.
During his final year on earth Chaplin was sent a copy of the films, Rocky and Barry Lyndon, and he later reached out to both Stallone and Kubrick and thanked them. He told Kubrick he wished he did not have to return the film.
I can see the connection between The Little Tramp and Rocky. Thank you for the ‘Beautiful, beautiful’ back story, George.
Love the images and the text (as always)/ You made my heart take flight on lucid paper dreams.
Thank you for flying First Class Air, LuAnne. 🙂
