Craig Mod is a writer and photographer who has two newsletters,\xa0Roden\xa0and\xa0Ridgeline. His new book is\xa0Things Become Other Things.\n\u201cThere'll be days where \u2026 I\u2019m doing a walk and I'll just be like, I don't know what is going to move me today. And then out of the blue, there'll be this small interaction that when you really pay attention to it, it contains kind of this universe of kindness and patience that you otherwise pass by or ignore. If you're in the general mode of looking at things and then being able to take that experience and try to transmute it into an essay for the evening and send it out, it just develops your eye. You just start being able to look more and more and more closely.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\ncraigmod.com\n\n\nThings Become Other Things\xa0(Fine art edition \u2022 2023 // Hardcover edition \u2022 Random House \u2022 2025)\n\n\nRoden\xa0(Newsletter)\n\n\nRidgeline\xa0(Newsletter)\n\n1:00\xa0Mod on Longform Podcast\n\n\n6:30\xa0Koya Bound: Eight Days on the Kumano Kod\u014d\xa0(with Dan Rubin \u2022 PRE/POST \u2022 2016)\n\n16:00\xa0Kiiiiiiiiiiiiii\n\n\n16:00\xa0Special Projects\xa0(Newsletter)\n\n20:00\xa0Kissa by Kissa\xa0(2020)\n\n31:00\xa0Pachinko Road\xa0(Pop Up Newsletter)\n\n32:00\xa0"I Walked 600 Miles Across Japan for Pizza Toast"\xa0(Eater \u2022 Dec 2019)\n\n32:00\xa0"The Glorious, Almost-Disconnected Boredom of My Walk in Japan"\xa0(Wired \u2022 May 2019)\n\n45:00\xa0Longform Podcast #533: Hua Hsu\xa0(May 2023)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
