This series of photos is a recollection of the hazy summer days that pass by so quickly. I always try to document my friends skateboarding, venturing around the city, and experimenting with light or any other “doo dads” that we find lying around.
For me and my close friends, the summer months cast a spell on us that put us in this dream-like state because of the heat, and because of our memories of this season when we were younger. These images are meant to convey the dreamy voyage that we are having in the present and the one that we remember from our younger years.
The soft blue backdrops are stuck in my mind but the moment itself is forgotten over time. Through these photos, we are present but, somehow, disconnected from a certain space in time. Our stance is dissolved. These images are a loose blur of my youth mixed with a glimmer of cascading light. The array of photos represents a carefree nature and calming recreations blended naturally with the beautiful outdoor landscape of the earth.
This is the spirit of the dazed sunlit youth.
Distant Daze is a film photography series exclusive for Parallel Planets by Conner Lyons.
