A collection of photos spanning the course of four months and six countries, these hold a particularly special place in my heart because the entire time, I was completely alone. Being human and therefore an inherently social animal, I was not of course immune to making friends along the way. But day in and day out, I wound my hours away in entirely my own company, rising when I wanted, walking where I wanted, eating where I wanted, taking photos of what I wanted. As a lifelong chronic people-pleaser, this may well have been the first time I had ever permitted myself to commit such an act, and these photos are that hedonistic result, borne from carrying my heavy, heavy, heavy camera with me absolutely everywhere I went, even (and especially) when it meant inconveniencing myself.
