What defines you?<br />
Words and Image by Lauren Murray<br />
Being the only person in a place so powerful, so beautiful,<br />
and so vast, is a humbling experience that reminds you<br />
just how insignificant you are, and just how rewarding (and<br />
sometimes necessary) it can be to be alone.<br />
Then, to be a photographer in a place so powerful, beautiful<br />
and vast, is an opportunity for magic.<br />
That’s what solo overnight hiking trips are for me. They are<br />
a way to recoup and restore my mental energy, as a vessel<br />
in the continual spiritual awakening I found I had begun in<br />
my late 20s, as well as being a space, my chosen space,<br />
for which I can create more than I consume.<br />
