"los angeles: maybe it’s odd to be a fan of hallways, but this is probably my favorite hallway in the world. i hope they never change or renovate it, ever. the worlds best hallway."

"italy: flying somewhere within italy, and this very, very old woman was falling asleep in the sun while reading her book. it’s like the sun is looking in on her."

"latvia: probably one of my favorite crowd shots. i particularly love the graceful arc of the stadium wall at the very, very back of the picture."

"prague: there’s something strangely intimate about this picture. the photographers and i are all doing the same thing at the same time. it’s like we’re on a date together."

"paris: you know, if someone is going to build an insane space ship indoors, well, someone else should take a picture of it. or so i believe."

"brasilia: someone said, “why are there no pictures of you in your book?” so, now there’s a picture of me in the book."

"curitiba: i like this picture because the world of humans looks small and dark, and the natural world looks vast and grand and filled with huge birds."
