I have a strange condition myself in that most of the time I can’t remember if it was either in color or black and white. i remember the dream, the “story line” and the events, but it is as if the original image is not accessible to me…i kind of remember there being color, but it boils down to being just speculation on my part.
Wonderful photos. I think I like the black and white one–it puts me in the 1930s.
As for your question, I thought it was addressed to the truck (like the spaceship in my poem). 🙂
i didn’t think in terms of addressing the truck exactly, but i was thinking of dream not only in terms of dreams while one sleeps, but also how one dreams about the future, as in “follow your dreams”…so how does the truck envision the unfolding of its life into the great unknown?
Interesting to me that the color photo looks old, while the black and white one looks bleak. Looks like they knew what they were doing when they filmed the Wizard of Oz
the Oz folks hit the nail on the head…thinking about how the story ends…the film was released in August of 1939, at the tail end of the Depression when Hitler invaded Poland…coming home for Dorothy meant returning to the bleak landscape, a landscape most of the ticket buyers at the time could relate to…a kind of harbinger of Waiting for Godot even.
thanks…the post as it became arose from not being being able to decide which of the first two i thought worked best…then to created the third to complete the thought…but the first is the most pleasing to me. 🙂
I’ve always found that an interesting question. I dream in black and white, but now and then some article will stick out in color. Like a car.

i agree…mysterious in part because we seem wired to try and interpret the changed color scheme…a good omen? or bad? should i relax and be on my toes?

a good example of the adage that an artist doesn’t have any actual control as to how any particular piece. 🙂

I have no idea. You’ll have to ask the truck.

The negative image harks back to the days of analog film, maybe as far back as when the truck was new and shiny. Maybe the truck dreams of those days.

The last one attracted my attention, but the first kept it. Those colours are very well done: soft and attractive.

I don’t know whether I dream in color or b&w. If I dreamt in negatives I don’t think I’d ever go asleep!
