Highly subjective takes on life's most interesting experiences.
The hardest place to access that you've ever visited — and was it worth it?
I was on assignment for the New Yorker, on my way to Myanmar, which was under an insurgency. There was a lot of preparation that went into this trip, and I remember feeling extremely unprepared for all of it. I was alone when I met a writer at an airport in China, who happened to be making the same journey as me. Together we were smuggled into the region by a rebel army. For the next month, we both found ourselves under house arrest, only traveling at night to report and make images. It was both surreal and fascinating. I can't say I've regretted any of these adventures. They've become tales of their own, and really shaped who I am.
