“It was along a Kentucky highway that I was prompted to stop and consider making a photograph of a stand of trees gracing the hillside that more than intrigued me. An inner feeling like “Deja Vu” convinced me to stop along the road to ponder what was before me and might soon be focused on my camera’s ground glass.
Having one’s attention sharply taken by a simple scene can give a state of inner quiet that helps in understanding more deeply the nature of such an encounter. I had the realization that I had seen, in exact detail, this very landscape in one of my dreams prior to physically arriving at this seemingly predetermined place. Time and space had been patiently awaiting my arrival to create a photograph of the world in between. A nebulous and elusive dream space had found its way into the solid light of day."

It would take me a lifetime of study to fully comprehend Freud’s theories of dreams, but it takes me only a few seconds to have a profound spiritual experience viewing this image created by the supreme master that was Paul. He is at the top of the mountain floating above these trees.
