In July of 2012, my partner at the time and I embarked upon a two and a half month-long backpacking trip across Morocco, Turkey, and several European countries with the intention of creating a book of photographs. What emerged from the pictures became evidence of each others’ perspective on our own relationship between one another, comfort and discomfort, curated experiences versus self-created ones, and expectation versus actual experience. Throughout the trip, the only consistent form of structure was the company of one another. Time became elastic and weeks departed from what our knowledge of a “week” meant.
