I love my friends and family, but I also love it when they can't find me and I can spend all day reading or walking all alone, in silence, eight thousand miles away from everyone. All alone and unreachable in a foreign country is one my most favorite possible things to be. ↗

But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living. ↗
