Part of me wants to tell the story of the places, people, experiences, even moments. But another part of me derives a weird sense of comfort from the photographic process when I’m far from home.
As much as I enjoy travel, I’ll admit being on the road sometimes intimidates me. I crave routine, which can be difficult to have when you’re on the move and/or living out of a highly overstuffed suitcase.
So when we encounter a particularly colourful group of ladies who make pizza in an old school pizza joint in a place called Lively, I take a timeout from the journey and pull out the camera.
After they step outside for a break, their empty workplace sits behind glass, waiting for the next wave of pies to be made. It feels like a reasonable marker of this part of the journey, a visual signature of sorts of a small town far from home.
In the end we are little more than the sum total of the choices we make and the experiences we craft along the way.
So we tell tiny stories in between here and there, reminders that life is best experienced when we wander just this far outside our comfort zone and see things we wouldn’t otherwise see.
The pizza is a welcome bonus.
