“I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.”
– Henry David Thoreau


I sit alone in my car in an empty car park, looking at an island I've often observed, yet never through a camera lens. It seems distant, small, and wrapped in cold as the weather closes in. I photograph it in the moments between the rainfall, once...several times. In those instances, I let my focus linger, and in the quiet between the superficial sounds, I find a comfort I didn't know I was longing for. Suddenly, the island appears as if close, large, and warm.
