I started the "Dreams of Flying" project in March 2002 with The Dog Rider as a single image. I had a dream of a boy riding a dog. It wouldn't work in 3D so we put them onto the ground and I had 5 seconds and two frames to take that image. Then the dog was gone!

It took me a while to make the entire set of images because I did them in my spare time and on holidays in my home country. The kids are all from my neighbour there, their friends, and the friends of their friends. Over time we (the kids and I) accumulated a very nice bunch of approximately 30 images that we are happy with.

These are very personal images. I usually work (if not commissioned) very personally. They are about me and the kids playing, and learning at the same time - Both ways.
