This issue of
@esquire.australia , with
@valtteribottas on the cover, felt like the perfect excuse to write about my love of the road.
The psychology of where you’re headed versus where you began- that suspended space where identity loosens and possibility stretches out ahead.
The great American mythology of the road, and its illusions of freedom.
Threaded through it, my own stories: youthful white-knuckle drives with
@johnscarlett up and down the east coast, shooting a film clip driving around Forster with fellow highway devotee
@jack_river and a seminal drive from LA to Vegas with
@dan_kyle roadhouse stops, crippling hangovers, and fragments of it all captured on film a decade ago.
A love letter to the highway- its perils, its pull, and who we can become when we turn onto it.
Thank you
@grantpearce.inc @esquire.australia and to my licence- which despite it all, endures. 💌
