There are areas of the Earth that I would absolutely think no one lived in based on daytime observations. But then at night, lights pop up in those areas.
Argentina and Burma. I have been to most of the countries in the world, but not those two. I want to shoot doves in Argentina. Burma, of course, because no one has really been there.
I function better in the jungle in Amazonia or Antarctica or Alaska or the Sahara desert. An artificial environment like a studio has never attracted me. I could work in a studio, but I would never really feel at home.
I have a great map of the Tibesti Mountains in the southern Sahara or Northern Chad. It's a dream of mine to go there, but it's such a volatile area, you have to be prudent.
I have gone into the waste lonely places
Those days if you drove cross country and you broke down on the side of the road, and the sign says 200 miles to the next gas station, you knew you were so screwed.
Plastic waste is now found in the most remote areas of the planet. It kills marine life and is doing major harm to communities that depend on fishing and tourism.
I love all waste and solitary places.
Why must we climb away to the seal-less parts of the world?
If you live in an area where there is not a good school, the internet may be the best way to get access to a lot of education material. The same is true if there is not a good doctor - the internet may be the best way to get access to health.
My favourite British line is the West Highland line. It was built across moorland where no one had succeeded in building a road. So everything in that area is there because of the railway line.
There are no roads in all Bohemia !
The regions of the North Pole situated within the eighty-fourth degree of north latitude have not yet been utilized, for the very good reason that they have not yet been discovered.
The Peace Corps would give thousands of young Americans a chance to see at first hand the conditions in remote areas of the world.
The great irony is that people who live in remote areas, who are illiterate and don't own TVs, are in some ways more free because they are beyond the reach of indoctrination by the modern mass media.
I'm particularly inspired by pristine locations. I enjoy working in areas where one can travel for miles without seeing any human influence.
The reverse side of the coin in having this extraordinary ability to go anywhere, is that no one anywhere is remote any more.
Sometimes it's very difficult to find fresh fruit on the road.
You could be somewhere where the mail was delayed three weeks and do just fine investing.
The advantage of using airships in remote areas with little road infrastructure to support development is clear. Airships could ensure the delivery of humanitarian supplies to remote communities.
You might be a redneck if getting a package from your post office requires a full tank of gas in the truck.
I think true wilderness can still be found, but it's hard to reach and dangerous when you get there, which is probably why it still exists.
I know a lot of people in the aviation business, particularly ones who will fly to places where your boots get dirty when you get out of the airplane.
The remote area today is more proximate to economic potential. A fiber-optic cable can go where no road or rail ever has.
Getting to places like Bangkok or Singapore was a hell of a sweat. But when you got there it was the back of beyond. It was just a series of small tin sheds.
