visual notes in a secret journal

Cabo Polonio, Uruguay

Beyond myself, somewhere,
I wait for my arrival.”
― Octavio Paz

Cabo Polonio A very strange place lost in time that is both magical and incomprehensible. With no electricity, roads or running water all you have is sand, sunsets and waves.

Playa Sur

“If only you could see what I have seen with your eyes.”
— Roy Batty, Blade Runner

Playa La Calavera

“What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? Each moment seems split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land.”
— Ernesto Guevara, The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey

“Always curious, looking into everything that came before our eyes, sniffing out each corner but only ever faintly — not setting down roots in any land or staying long enough to see the substratum of things the outer limits would suffice.”
— Ernesto Guevara, The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey

La Pedrera

“I am not sure that I exist, actually. I am all the writers that I have read, all the people that I have met, all the women that I have loved; all the cities I have visited.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

Playa Mansa, José Ignacio
La Pedrera

“Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.”
― Jorge Luis Borges

Montevideo

“Every time I travel, I meet myself a little more.”
— Yrsa Daley-Ward
