For me, travelling with a sketchbook – as well as a camera – is a meaningful way to record experiences, holidays, places, people and events away from home; a picture diary.
I keep a quote by John Ruskin in the front of my Moleskine to remind me:
“Unless I’ve drawn something I haven’t really seen it.”
And that’s how I feel about my travelling sketchbook – it makes me study what I see, and I remember it forever. Barjac,France, 2011. Home to the ‘Heavenly Towers’ of Anselm Keifer: “Over Your Cities, Grass will Grow” Kenan,Icmeler, Turkey, 2011
