The Second Pilgrimage

The Second Pilgrimage is a spiritual successor to Victoria Scott's first online-only photobook The Pilgrimage. This is a story about a woman on a mission. She and her trusty 1996 Buick Roadmaster head deep into the mysterious woods, beaches, and small towns of Cascadia in a post-apocalyptic—or pre-apocalyptic—future—or present—or past. This photo book, like its predecessor, is a statement of queer hope in a world that is much more hostile than we deserve.

This project was undertaken the weekend after Donald Trump's re-election as a means of dealing with the fear of an uncertain future as a trans lesbian woman. It is an attempt to give myself clarity about what I hold onto hope for.

The PDF is the intended way to view the story. Viewing on a laptop/desktop computer is recommended. The finished book is 41 pages (full-spread digital pages; 82 pages in traditional book format) and 76 images long. Included is a bonus zipped folder with all of the photos in the book (plus a few bonus images!) as JPEGs in 2048 x 1536 resolution.
