Quoting Craig Mod, Japanese Kissa by Kissa, Norm Maclean, Toni Morrison, Akiya in Japan, Howtown, Bobby Fingers, and more

The reason I do my huge walks alone is because, like Wenders notes, it’s the only way I can “see” and it’s the mode in which I feel the strongest impulse to photograph. It’s also the mode where the literary voice in the back of my head perks up and rattles off. Aloneness and solitude in my twenties was painful, but I think it did teach me how to “be alone” and make the most of it, to not be afraid of it. And I’ve tried to transmute as much of that learning into my work as possible.
