Made from photos I took on a trip to Asia.
Ever read the book The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery? This picture reminds me of the surreal interplanetary worlds he inhabits. My friend and I were discussing the book once, and both agreed we loved it for its delicate themes of beauty and individuality. They made a feature film of it, but it just doesn't compare (does it ever?). With the book, you build the character up in your head, turning him into your own special person, whose identity is interwoven with your own. In the film you can never really forget that you're watching a child actor in a dated film, and the whole illusion is destroyed.
