A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that he remakes it in his own image...
Thanks, Darin, that means a lot! I've just finalised the project to include more images and now I'm looking at a zine, as you say. I printed out all the images and lived with them for weeks on my walls until I understood the flow of them. It makes sense to me anyway :D There's real joy in photography that you can touch, feel and smell!
(I’ve been struggling with InDesign the last couple of weeks creating my business card, so this motivates me to keep going with it despite the frustrations so I can eventually create photo books and portfolios.)
Awesome! I love this concept. I appreciate how you are including transportation as part of your maps. I grew up in the country so a map of photographs would show a lot of long, winding roads, but I’ve also lived in San Francisco Bay Area. That means I spent a lot of time on buses and trains. Transportation indeed becomes location.
I’ve done a bit of that after trips back to my childhood home, some unpublished, some published on my blog. But not as stylistically as you. Something for me to think about 🙂
Great work! Are you setting these shots this way with the intention of creating a hard copy portfolio, or zine?

I completely get this. I have the same experience with places from years ago. Can’t wait to see more of this project. 💜
Thanks so much, Tori :) I'm glad you enjoyed the work and that it resonated with you x
Excellent series! I really like the sequencing in the digital „zine“! Well done.
Thanks so much Susanne, and thanks for spotting my sequencing!
Gorgeous, Nat! The photos, and the layout.

Stick with it Mary! You'll crack it and bend it to your will. Thanks so much for the lovely comments -- they mean a lot :)
Beautiful imagery!

Thanks, Marie, it's certainly very close to my heart. Have you considered re-travelling and documenting your journeys?
