Valley of the Shadow

A story about personal identity and mental health.

thank you for an unforgettable year x

Even though it's only been a few weeks since I returned home, our trip to Asia feels like a hazy dream. This is not a recount of the whole trip but a collection of some of my favorite memories along the way.

I took a few weeks to drive solo up the coast of Oregon at the end of last year. Every time I immerse myself into one of these landscapes so many different thoughts and emotions are brought to the surface, so I thought this time that I would record them. I love working with old tape recordings so I made some of my own.

A short film pieced together over the last two years. Inspired by the Theodore Roethke poem.

Part of a trip me and Adrian took across Europe on the train.

After an amazing shoot on the South Island of New Zealand for Fjällräven me and Louise spent an extra week exploring a few of the other spots that we had missed. Here are a few of those memories.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Me, my tripod and the coastline.
