Paper Birds
Loading ...One day in my forest…I watched time fly by as I struggled to write…La la dee, la la da… I became restless…Ah ha! A city in the distance!Step-by-step, I walked the ground…the common and uncommon passing me by…I found contrast and similarity…Diversity in the city…The urban became my playground…Floating, flying, whistling…I found a secret place I could spread my wings and fly…I wrote down the city’s melody!And after a performance in my forest…I realized I must pass on the gift that was given to me.

I felt some positive harmony from this. My mind began to chime a G-D-Cadd9 tune–the kind that I would like to hear in nature.
December 22nd, 2009 at 6:40 am
The yellow stockings? Yes. Great touch. It’s the small details that make these things work…
best, Jason

Accolades Aplenty! the juxtaposition of city life w/ an ineluctable forest creates beautiful imagery and captures the melody of “your life”

The tightness of those shots with her in the crowd, the back of her head, as if we were following so close behind were so effective
