Wanderlust

By Troy M. Litten**

A wordless evocation of place, 'Wanderlust' captures the funny, mundane, and unexpectedly beautiful aspects of traveling the world with a sense of discovery and wonder. Litten's photographs - over 400 of them - celebrate the too-often-overlooked moments between destinations that are every bit a part of the pleasure of travel. Here are Japanese transit lockers decorated with cherry blossoms, exuberant London postcard racks, hand-painted Indian signs, Bangkok night market displays, cheap hotel decor in Buenos Aires, feather duster salesmen in Rio, and mannequin faces in Istanbul. As exquisitely designed as Litten's successful 'Wanderlust' Gift line, this visually adventurous book delivers a globe-hopping trip full of sensual delights for both armchair and insatiable world travelers.

Customer Reviews

charming little travel photobook

This is a charming photobook. I enjoyed the funky, retro perspective on international travel and odd little details featured -- such as a sampling of do not disturb signs, ceiling fans, airport food, people sleeping at airports, etc. This is a just for fun book with a beautiful aesthetic.

A lovely survey of travel experience and world wonders

Troy Litten's Wanderlust could as easily have been featured in our travel section, but is highlighted here for its fine art applications as well. A small pocket-sized paperwork offers Litten's paintings of travel topics and destinations, from hotel beds and bathtubs to market holdings and odd signs and scenes. A lovely survey of travel experience and world wonders evolves for the armchair wanna-be.
