Years ago I became acquainted with the work of Mona Kuhn. Her work is stunning, but what I found most interesting was her process. Mona frequently develops friendships with her subjects and photographs them over days, weeks, even months. Making photos in this fashion allows her to capture moments that are more intimate and natural. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try.

A few weeks ago I mentioned on my Facebook page that my friend Alexis Kathryn and I are packing up and traveling for 2 years. What I thought would be a little update on Facebook turned into dozens of phone calls, more e-mail than I could handle, hundreds of comments, and over 80,000 interactions on Facebook. In fact, it’s the most popular thing I’ve ever posted on Facebook. I think it’s safe to say that a few people wanted to know more about the journey.
Today I’m happy to announce that Lex and I have created a blog dedicated to the entire journey. We’ve named our blog Spontaneous World. This is the site for all of you who are curious about our trip. You can read the who, what, when, where, and why on our new site. Head on over!
