I'm quite fascinated by people turning their back on modern society to pursue their own way of living. What I don't get though is the people in the shot above, obviously styled according to their own fashion sense. It's like a home woven Mad Max with even more dirt. If you decide to become 'one' with nature, do you really have to be that grubby? Or is that the point?
I saw a documentary type thing on bbc a while ago, someone taking a road trip in the states. He met with a man that's been living in the forests for months up in Alaska. He looked like he just stepped out of a cabin with all mod cons. That, to me, feels more in control, like he actually knows what he's doing, and frankly, more sensible?
