« I captured these photos in 2018 while I was driving, sleeping and living in an old Toyota Tarago, while On My Way To Istanbul. For eighteen weeks I spent most of my time watching people and taking in places. I have always felt most calm, most intrigued, when surrounded by strangers going about their lives - observing the visible and imagining the unseen. There can be so much beauty in the mundane if you just sit quietly and watch.I shot one hundred and sixteen rolls of film, kept the negatives in an Aesop drawstring bag and threw out two pairs of shoes so I could bring the weight home on a plane. Twelve of those frames you can see here, each a tiny snippet of what exists as the most unique experience of my life. » LIL WATKIN 🚗
