But alas, my observation probably doesn't have the money-making potential of the vampire film with scenes in roadside pit toilets and garbage dumpsters. If I could meld my "astute" (DB) insight with my feel for garbage, trash, effluvia, and ephemera, I might could make me something one of these days. I must still be under the influence of having watched John Waters's <em>This Filthy World</em> last night. Thank you, Deron.

Later it struck me that many attributes of our modern-day vampire myth — the dream of eternal (youthful) life, the power of harsh daylight (and mirrors) to shatter this dream — could rest as a palimpsest over images of my own loss of youth.

That’s astute.

The set of snapshots I labeled (after the fact) <a href="http://www.clusterflock.org/2008/04/scenes-from-an-imaginary-vampire-film.html" rel="nofollow">Scenes from an Imaginary Vampire Film</a> sprang from an impulse to confront some things possessed of potential to frighten me. Viewing my own face illuminated by harsh light is one of the these, and I thought to confront it by snapping a number of quick camera-phone images. Later it struck me that many attributes of our modern-day vampire myth -- the dream of eternal (youthful) life, the power of harsh daylight (and mirrors) to shatter this dream -- could rest as a palimpsest over images of my own loss of youth. And if that doesn't work for you, you can always imagine a vampire movie set in northwestern Illinois within the confines of a Honda Element and enclosures surrounding a roadside pit toilet and a pair of garbage dumpsters.
