The Illusion of Dreams

into_the_dark-2.jpg

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;

-Shakespeare

Life begins at 16mm

Posting at 5 A.M.

A rogue mosquito in my room managed to tag me a good six, seven times before I woke up to a bout of furious stratching. Lying awake for 20 minutes before locating and killing the offender, I’m now wide awake.

SO – I took a look at the pictures I took in the late hours of last night with Hui over near the Old Post Office and the Reagan building. Here are the better ones of the bunch.
