Description

Title: "Peter, Wait!"

"So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land!"

~J.M. Barrie (Peter Pan)


---

He stormed into my room through the open window. He taught me how to fly and sing, and how to forever keep a childlike innocence. I was 7 years old then.
Peter, I know I can't fly as high or as fast anymore, but look, I still can! I hope that when I have children, and when my children have children, you'll teach them how to fly too.

PETERRRRRRRRRRR! :heart: I'm telling you, there's something magical about that name! :D

Wha-?!! How do you do these shots?! O_O HOWWW?? It's all so magical! :iconiloveyouplz:

You, lady, have a GIFT with light and tone. OMG. This one is so warm and orange and fuzzy... I have no idea how you manage to capture these... warm shadows... with your twinkling orange lights and the glowing white. Your room is... gorgeous. :love: Love the pajama colours and the black stripes!

At one point, it's not simply an illusion of you flying - it's the darkness, shadows and depth that somehow looms everywhere despite the broad daylight; the way you look hopeful up at the wall that we don't know is actually there. I mean, just moving from right to left, there's a light -> dark theme (which I love). Are you flying out of reality? Perhaps. There's that surreal bit again - you're looking away from the window (which is totally brilliant). Despite all the endearing elements (the pinks and reds and the fuzziness), we see that something is defying reality that we notice only unconsciously and can't quite put a finger on. Something about it isn't right and out of place (which is completely awesome). Awesome stuff! XD
