Very freaky but in a cool way.
I find it interesting that you called it 'myopic fair'... Is it some sort of metaphor for life and the daily grind? How people get on a ride they don't really go on because the other option, here, represented by wandering through the desert, seems even harsher? What about the airplanes? Do they represent some sort of transcendence through this routine?

Just my thoughts...

Yeah, this one is a bit more based off a daily routine - somewhat getting caught up in everything that keeps you from the big perspective, kindof like tunnel vision. There are certain things in this one that are very subconscious I suppose...the idea of having to rise above everything to enjoy something [the ferris wheel]. The eye as the bearing [both vision & routine, watching cycles]. The ground as flesh, alive [foundation & support, growth], there's a ton of things in there - but what I really wanted to capture are people's intention to follow, just because its easier if an idea/thought is widely accepted. And how so much of a person's potential can be submersed in going with the grain.... I really sink myself into these pictures while I'm making them, I let myself live within them during the process / after this one I felt anxious...Its an inspirational one, to remember what makes us unique &....us.

The man with the staff is cutting the neck of this way of life [tilt your head to the left & you can see the back mountian is the left shoulder] Restarting the mind & recognizing one's self

I really appreciate the comments...

I appreciate you taking the time to respond!

I think all serious artists put some of themselves into thier work, I certainly can relate.

In a sense, it is very brave of you to submit works which are so personal to the public eye, and as an avid viewer, I'm glad you have.
