His Head Is In The Clouds, Texas, 2022

“A plane aims for the heavens but goes no higher while heaven continues upward, boundless like dreams, infinite like the horizon across the windows. A man with his head in the clouds dreams, free”

I met with John, a great photographer and cinematographer I admire so much last week. He showed me a brand new image he had just taken on a flight to Texas. It was like an arrow to the heart. It literally floored me, something which doesn’t happen too often. I sat in silence contemplating it’s power.. I have not been able to stop thinking about it since and wanted to share it with our wonderful audience. It works on so many levels, both metaphorical and literal.

Heartbreaking and tender and an image I will never forget.
