i bought the truck for $100 and the camper was given to me -- filled with rat shit. i spent a month cleaning it, making curtains, rewiring and re-plumbing the camper. i loved going out to the desert in the spring time and doing mushrooms.
through college, i pretty much lived in the darkroom and sculpting studio. i used to park on campus and sleep here for days on end.
my junior year, i upgraded. sold the truck for $300 and bought a bigger one and a 22 foot trailer. i traveled with my dog, jasper, and made pictures. it was easy to stay centered when all i had to do was point the truck in a direction and drive... leaving nothing (of significant importance) behind. i'd find a town i had never been to, stay for a few days or a week and leave after i had taken what i needed.
