Magic Carpet Ride

Posted by Marcah (Quincy, United States) on 2 January 2009 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here

Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
You don't know what we can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes girl
Look inside girl
Let the sound take you away

(I secretly love that song!)
These are the kinds of dreams that can take you to far away places, that let your spirit soar, that enable you to be anything you want to be....magical is just the beginning!

Like these carpets, your compositions always take me higher and higher ! Is there a carpet shop somewhere in this world ? I'll like to buy one ! :-)
Nice little comet in the distance.

The figures are perfectly poised. A lovely dreamscape.
Your camera spec comes up with some interesting stats. A shutter speed of 253/50000ths of a second. Now that's what I call precise.

Great conceptual. Beautiful execution of the concept. I grew up listening to Steppenwolf. I actually saw them open for Jimi Hendrix (many, many moons ago).
