PLATFORM Issue 05 of PLATFORM Magazine has now arrived, so go ahead and feast your eyes upon some wonderful photographic interpretations of the theme ‘Young Explorers’. If this doesn’t make you want to quit your day job, hire a camper van and disappear off to some far-flung place, then I don’t know what will. Happy looking.

People like to throw the idea of ‘You only live once’ out there super casually without really listening to their own advice day by day, but man it’s so true. Good times with good friends in beautiful places is all I really want in life right now, and things are looking pretty good at this point from the saddle of my motorcycle traversing North America next to two of the best dudes I know.
I do my best not to get into situations that make me unhappy. I don’t have shitty jobs, or debt, or roommates I can’t stand.
Paris Visone 27, Boston, Massachussetts
Photography is...real.

Photography is...freedom I think. You can watch everything that happens around you and at the same time you can create everything that you can imagine.

Photography is..a way to share a unique perspective that might otherwise not be seen.

I like to be able to share the awe I feel with my world and little bits of emotion with the viewer so they can relate those feelings and visuals back to their own world. It’s like being able to share intimate emotions and moments with strangers.
Julia Morozova 36, from Russia, lives in Italy/Turin
Photography is...not about what you see, but what you feel.

I started about 2 years ago and it turned into a big passion. I like how it makes me get lost in my imagination
I am a dreamer and that's who I want to be...
Cameron Karsten 29, Bainbridge Island, WA, USA
Photography is...A glimpse into a story that will never be told in the same way again.

Theo Gosselin 23, from Le Havre, North of France, lives in Amiens and Paris, France
Photography is.... Something that doesn’t need words, because words are not for me. I can show you pictures but I can’t tell you what photography is...I can just say...it makes me feel better; it makes my life out of this world.
