Photobook - strangers make great friends
7600km across Europe with a stranger.
A book about an adventure. A book about friendship. A book about a moment in time.
Max and I sat looking out across the Arctic Ocean, just a couple of hundred meters from Russia, feeling a very very long way from home.
Max was the only person I could find crazy enough to join me out here. The plan was for him to be with me for the first three weeks then I would continue to the opposite corner of the continent along the European Divide Trail alone.
However, not long after we had sat down another cyclist turned up. She had similar gear to us, very similar. I knew straight away what she was doing. I knew where she was going. But I asked anyway not really believing this would happen. “Portugal” she replied.
Half an hour or so later the three of us pointed our bikes south and started cycling.
Three months or so later Anna and I arrived in the opposite corner of the continent, now friends.
I've put this book together to tell the story of the adventure, the friendship I made and to capture this moment in time. There are 156 pages of photos with a small amount of writing to help tell the story.

Help Mid Nowhere happen.
Your money goes towards your book, putting film in my camera, keeping me going with a belly full of chocolate brownies and making more projects like this possible in the future.
Thank you. Jacob.
