Document Summary
Tourism is the active utilization of gateways of discovery to expand one"s engagement with the world: Learn consciously and we choose space or place to explore, experience and linger within. Spaces and places that resonate with us and give meaning to lives. Who we might be if only life was one permanent vacation. My destination was merely my excuse to take the trip: One of the paradoxes of otherness is that in travel each conceives the other to be a foreigner. Whole point of travel is discovery and few experiences can match satisfaction of such an extraordinary discovery near home. Travel had to do with movement and truth: Tried to make portraits of towns and cities - looked closely, listened hard, sniffed and wrote everything down Travel is a vanishing act - solitary tri down a pinched line of geography to oblivion - consciously experimenting with space and time. But travel - is very motion and suggests hope.
