  • More about Portraits: Moments of Intimacy on the Road

These portraits are the result of extended sessions and accidental intimacy on the road, showcasing the human ability to connect across divisions and the accidental intimacy of travel. Readers of the author's travel books may recognize some of the people.

Format: Hardback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 03 June 2022
Publisher: Rare Bird Books


For years, I have found myself engaging in conversations with people when I take their pictures, and it has led me to consult with them, showing them the digital shot and then retaking it until we have one that they are happy with. This interaction has provided us with a reason to connect and a way to do so, even when we do not share a common language. These portraits are the culmination of those extended sessions, those moments of accidental intimacy on the road. Readers of my three travel books, Drinking Mares Milk on the Roof of the World, And the Monkey Learned Nothing, and The Kindness of Strangers, may recognize some of the people, as a number of them feature in those stories. However, each portrait stands on its own, each a testament to the human ability to connect across the fault lines that keep us precariously divided. Moreover, each portrait is a tribute to the accidental intimacy of the road.
