A Journey Collected
“A Journey Collected” is a self published and crowdfunded photography publication that captures the rural and exhilarating landscape of Alberta, Canada.
The project is recorded solely on 35mm color negative film. It sheds light on the unobserved and forgotten landscapes that surrounds us every day.
Artist Statement: There is a place that exists that is unconnected from the world. It is free of distractions, routine and the importance of time. We are granted with opportunities to authentically connect to others through everyday community. Our phones are laid aside due to the lack of WiFi, sparking new conversations and friendships as the present is the only thing we are able to see. Days begin to pass by quickly, yet they feel like years of memories created. Exploring new destinations brings a rush of excitement with the earth revealing itself at every turn the bus makes. The sun sets in the west preparing for a new day ahead. You tend to find yourself in sync to its rhythm as you sleep under a canopy of stars.
“All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.”
John Muir, June 1890
