Tales from the Roads Less Traveled by Pie Aerts and Jessica Wintz

Tales from the Roads Less Traveled is brought to us by popular Dutch photographer Pie Aerts, who has traveled the globe documenting the coexistence of humans and wildlife. This, his first photographic book was produced with girlfriend and travel partner Jessica Wintz. The pair traveled to some of the most remote places from the Botswanan bush paths and deep jungles of West Papua to the Patagonian wilderness, Okavango Delta and everywhere in between. The stunning photographs capture real people and their everyday experiences in extraordinary habitats. He shows people living on their own terms, leading unusual lives in the midst of globalization and climate change. As Aerts notes “Through my lens, I’m examining the relationship between animals, humans and nature in an attempt to explain why we all seem increasingly disconnected from the natural world, each other and ourselves. In fact, I’m using my photography to search for the causes of that disconnect on a visual journey towards the essence of our existence.” The images, along with first-hand anecdotes present a more mindful way of life. Featuring 190 color photographs of Namibia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Uganda, Italy, Chile, Nepal, Japan, India, Botswana, Sri Lanka, Bolivia, and the Philippines. Written in German, English, and French
