Am I the centre of the universe

My idea behind this picture was to think about what would it be like if a single person was the centre of the universe? The world as we know it is only rendered around that person, and as they walk through the world it appears around them. As they pass on, it slowly loses its colour and definition.

The photo was taken at Wembley, before an Elbow gig. The stadium was deserted so I took a few photos around the outside under the concrete walkways.

I'm about 70% happy with this image. I was aiming for some more levels of reality dissolving, with first the colour going, then the lines gradually fading. But I'm a bit stuck on how to do it, and sitting staring at photoshop for hours was starting to hurt my shoulders and neck :)
