Neverland Syndrome

So this project have evolved quite a lot over the past few weeks. Originally I wanted to emulate Annie Leibovitz, after realizing I don't have the models or money required to stage such things I kept thinking. I nanny-ed over the summer for these two little boys, Zachary and Brady. We had a great time and I always found them to be interesting and loved to observe them. So then I thought, I could do "A Day in the Life" final project and follow these little guys around. But then I thought well they're always getting into trouble, how can I capture them doing that? So I came up with the idea to have a sort of documentary style piece of mischievous little super heroes. Then I really thought about super heroes and how by dressing up like them they were emulating who they want to be when they grow up. So that got me thinking about growing up and how I really don't want to (haha). Alas, my final project idea, a surrealist style of neverland syndrome, the "i don't want to grow up" syndrome. When you're a kid you think you're invincible, your imagination is wild and that's what I kind of wanted to create. The shadow is a borrowed symbol from Peter Pan which represents his childhood. I hope you were able to follow me through this explanation of this seemingly unrealistic project. If by doing this project I evoke a memory from your childhood, of being an invincible little super hero, then I think I did my job.
