Alec Basse If I Were You (And I Wish I Was)

These photos were made over years of driving, wandering, and waiting around. They follow musicians, strangers, friends, roadside attractions, bars, back rooms, and places that seem determined to outlive their moment. What connects them is a feeling: meeting someone, seeing a place, or hearing a story and thinking, If I were you... A sense of place. A good story. A way of carrying yourself. These photographs are a collection of those encounters and the admiration, curiosity, and longing that came with them.
