Yes, lonely, or contemplating by yourself, wishing to be lonely, one with nature, with mixed feelings and hints of premeditated violence…. The photographs work well in my own imagination, for me the words add to it, but shape thoughts as well, and these images invite to think for yourself.

One of the things I love about your work is how it captures the sometimes lonely feeling of being male in this world while trying to do the right thing, not knowing for sure what the hell that even is.
