Would you walk with me alone into the night

I have been getting in touch with my roots a lot recently, which is one of the reasons why I visited this place. This is a place where I spent a lot of my childhood playing, and where my Grandpa spent a lot of his life, playing cricket, enjoying the scenary and taking some photos and videos.

I don't really know what to call this, Recreative Memories Photography?

I don't really beleive in ghosts or spirts or anything like that but if they existed, and I was discussing this with my mum ealier then my Grandpa would be stood right behind me with a camera.

The image itself (Me, the score hut and the star trail) Is pretty unedited, just converted it on black and white in photoshop. Then got an old image I have of my Grandpa, scanned it in, and blended it together in photoshop. I'm not usually in to photoshop but i've only made this for my own enjoyment and happiness.

The title comes from one of my favourite songs from my favourite band. The songs name is Sunny Moon by The Cat Empire.

I climb the ladder of those black and white keys
They take me out and into places some are real some are imaginary
And though she sways between a mystery and light
She walks with me, she walks with me alone into the night

Tonight I see the sunny moon is rising again
Three seasons passed since you were here then disappeared a friend
Yet now exploded from its dream back in that place oh how it beams
And I see that you were glowing in the shadows
And you've been here all along
Ah you never left my side and now I feel my arms grow
Stronger

You may forget the details and you can forget the dates but never
Forget the moment when the light revealed her face
To be poor by lack of money but by god be rich in prize
I found my youths desire dark within her eyes
And the tent kept breathing something and then she cried -
'Hold on we're going somewhere else tonight'
We're going somewhere else tonight baby yeh!

And my friends they are the heroes of the loneliness that's life
And though everyone has a weakness only some they are defiant
While most of us can see only a few have the gift of sight
Would you walk with me
Would you walk with me alone into the night
The sun is set...
