The Search For

Issue 01 is about The Search For unspoiled landscapes.

The Search For

stillness

solitude

vastness

and the realisation that what we dream of and what we find

are very often two different things -

but that our heart's deepest desire

has a way of finding its host,

if we are willing to look long enough,

if we are really committed to going on The Search For.

SEEKING STILLNESS IN A WETLANDS PARADISE

A journey to Northern Namibia that is filled with a longing for stillness and solitude, the easiness of a camping existence and some insights into a wetlands paradise.

POCKETS OF WILD LANDSCAPES

On the world’s most populated island, Java, we dive into a small, unspoiled pocket of a wild landscape: Ujung Kulon National Park.

FINDING THE SEA-WOOD

A decade-long pursuit looking for the meaning of wildness in Ireland leads us to an ancient oak-wood forest, changing perceptions of what the idea of wildness means in an Irish context.

‘THAT LANDSCAPE IS SO IMPORTANT TO PROTECT’

In an effort to safeguard Ireland’s remotest landscape, Bill Murphy came up with the idea to create a prototype wilderness area. We get to the root of Preserve.

RAISON D’êTRE

An exploration of Preserve’s reason to be through words and photographs.
