Craig Mod is a writer and photographer from Japan. He blogs at craigmod.com. He’s like a modern-day henry david thoreau who walks and writes, except he’s not too particular with philosophy and is more interested in culture, literature, and story-telling. That is why he talked to other people, unlike Thoreau or annie dillard who engaged more with nature and, thus, talked more to themselves. (Note: How much should I talk to people I meet on my walks?)
What I think I can steal from his process is how he organizes long-walks and create publishable artifacts from those walks.
