All Before My Eyes: Photos as Sketchbook
"The postcard's just how we see it, and not how it is.
Behind the eye's the other eye,

The moonlight whispers in it, the mountains imprint upon it,
Our eyelids close over it,
Dawn and the sunset radiate from it like Eden."

All images hold as much veracity as I can form digitally through a camera.
