Volume I").
"I have been going forward, travelling my road while looking out. I am listening to my voice. The landscape changes and me too. Years ago a first version of The Lines of My Hands was published. Since then many have gone a way.
I continue to look and search for an image that comes close to a truth. It is my choice, it is my fate, and I continue" (Robert Frank).
