“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”

— Jack Kerouac, On The Road

These are the people I seek out, whose souls I want to get to know — BMX riders, pole dancers, musicians, painters. They live outside the boundaries, free from the social constraints and norms.

Some view them as different, or weird, or even scary. But to me they are real, true, honest, authentic and worthy of admiration.

This project The Real Generation is an exploration and celebration of the people I most admire.
