How is it possible after a decade to still remember a smell? Strange how it can trigger an entire decade of innocence and hands that hold like glue from the damp of newness.
It's like dancing behind frosted dreams all of your life.
The glow coats pain with streamers of silent pleasure.
So easy to only see doubt instead of whisper an abundance of rose petals.
So many stop lights in this world today to shadow fantasy with red reality.
Yet, doesn't it take courage to follow a fantasy?
Ohhhh....and doesn't it take even more courage still to wake if it is fiction?
Yes, I remember now.
It hurts so very much when we fall from candy clouds and castles.
Our shiny costumes become torn, our skin wounded...
Our horses, scratched, over and over as we tumble down to Earth.
Psssssssttttt.....who cares?
Can't we just love an imperfect Prince or Princess anyway...and still live the perfect dream down here?

Hello Jennifer,
My name is Brandon and have been trying to find a way to contact you. I saw The Flyboys last weekend at the AOF festival and absolutely loved it! You were terrific. I'd like to speak to you about a short film project I'm shooting in September, maybe there is some synergy and you'd like to be a part of it. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Jennifer,
This is a beautiful, yet haunting, photo. I'm guessing this was taken underwater. It may sound terrible to say, but it reminds me of "Jaws".
Have you had a chance to do any more scuba diving as well? It's funny, but my mentioning of Jaws reminds me of something I've always wanted to do. I've wanted to see an actual Great White Shark (from inside the cage or securely on the boat of course!). With your scuba knowledge, have you ever gone on an expedition like that?
Also, have you been able to handle the strikes and everything else that seem to be beseiging the television and motion picture industries? I'm hoping SAG and the producers come to peace soon. And I don't know about you, but I'm sick of reality TV!
All the best and continued success!
Hello Dolphin1,
I certainly agree with the haunting nature of this shot. It is actually a woman behind frosted glass with various lighting that offer the hues.
I have not taken many expeditions with scuba just yet...but I like your suggestion and might just have to add it to my list.
No doubt, things are rough in the industry these days. The beauty? Taking this time to create in as many ways as possible to stretch the mind.
Your comment and good wishes are deeply appreciated...and, hey, go see that Great White someday:)
All the best back at 'cha,
Jen
