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.
