Passage

This series of medium-format photographs grew out of many journeys made over several years.

Travel has always been a refuge for me from the noise of the city. Our cities were built on a deep need for safety, yet beyond our comfort zones there is always a place for us in the wild. With fellow travellers, I gaze at the sea, light fires on the beach, camp in green valleys and listen to birdsong in the mountains.

Each journey stays in memory as a reminder of passing time. When the dirt road meets the asphalt again, our feelings are mixed: we miss the homes we left long ago, and the one waiting for us as we turn the key.
