Oh gosh this reminds me of a giant styrofoam plane that my parents bought me that they had seen some guy advertising in the mall, but when they put it in the trunk they crushed the tail, and my dreams of flight. Oh well, it was probably for the best!

some really striking photographs. i know from experience how hard it can be to capture a person in a still image.
