Photographic Arcadia
They weren't really there . . . how I love them for pretending. Arcade photos, photo booths, painted backdrops, novelty props . . . so real simply because they were not real at all. Moments which never existed, caught for ever, dearer than reality.

I love everything about this: the little boy’s sailor suit and stockings, his placid levitation, the moon’s coyly sinister Boy George countenance, the moonlit cloudscape, and the dizzying sense of perspective given by the skyscrapers and rooftops below.
