Quiet Nights is a series based on our journeys late at night and our profound conversations with family, friends, or even strangers we have never met before. I spend a lot of time outside, late at night. When the roads are empty, it is easy to slip into deep talks with my companions. Sometimes the most intimate conversations happen late in the quiet of the night, when you are free from the distractions of the noise of the outside world. Though everyone is on different paths of life, we all travel these quiet winding roads and so, we meet up on these journeys. The roads we take lead us to different paths in life, but we still share a path for a short while. In some photos too, there is text reminiscing over conversations or moments in life I have had while driving late at night or taking the bus.
