I'm working on a photo book called Pursuit of Dreamers where I wander around photographing people I meet in the street and ask them the same question: "what is your dream?" Then i composite them to look like they were photographed at night, as my dream is to have less light pollution in urban areas.
Originally, I did this for real, with strobes, as it was happening in the sub arctic under the aurora borealis.. but i find it a bit difficult to get people to go out at 12 am in the frigid cold and pose..so for this photo book; composites it is.
I met this man while out for a walk by a river in the northwest territories. he was on a bike and if I remember correctly said he was 81 or 91 years old. Turns out he's also a photographer, an amazing film photographer from the 1950s.. I have over 1200 of his slide works as digital files. I just never knew who he was, only by name.
Anyhoo.. this is how the interview went, it took about 7 minutes total.
JOHN: 'To experience Eternity...'
KARL: "You've probably seen this spot over the last 60 years in all kinds of different contexts"
JOHN: Well, every moment is unique. We are in eternity. Our minds, our spirits, our Spirits work through our minds. And our minds are material..and they are discovering how the brain is working, how its processing things. Its coming from the spirit world and its going through this material world. And we're reduced, our perception is reduced to our five senses.
The spirit world doesn't have any limits, there is no senses involved and we see things as they are, and we're not limited by moment by moment which are required by the human beings. We are in eternity. We can't grasp it because we are trapped in our bodies. I want out of my body. I want -
KARL: 'to experience eternity.'
JOHN:“yeah!!.. experience the source of all this grandeur that we see. A moment at a time. A moment at a time. And You can travel for a lifetime and barely touch the surface of one planet. In the universe there is.. countless stars..planets..glories..reality makes perfect sense
