"When people awaken during REM sleep, they often describe bizarre and illogical tales – dreams. We typically spend more than 2 hours each night dreaming. Scientists do not know much about how or why we dream. They soon realized that the strange, illogical experiences we call dreams almost always occur during REM sleep. People awakened after sleeping more than a few minutes are usually unable to recall the last moments they fall asleep.”

The responsibility of a photographer is to capture a passing moment and to reveal it with his or her sensibility to the world. With an impassioned eye and a quick trigger finger, a photographer can seize that moment and forever venerate it through time. These moments are dreamlike, in that they are fleeting, sometimes absurd, sometimes frightening but most importantly, they are impacting.
Dear Dream Maker is a photography exhibition featuring new work from Hamburger Eyes photographers, New York-based David Potes and San Francisco-based David Uzzardi. Both photographers shoot street and documentary style photography in traditional 35mm B&W film. Through this show, they will display the moments they have captured, much like memories from a dream. These memories tell a provocative tale that expresses a celebration for each lost moment.
