Also, I think living (mostly alone) in the vast Alaskan wilderness alongside the multitudes of animals as a photographer would be extremely beneficial to one's spiritual needs and may actually block any feelings of isolation.
Let's not forget, this guy was kept busy all the damn time. He built that cabin with hand tools. He had no time for mulling over thoughts like isolation, which probably aided his mental/emotional health. literally just dont think about it bro!
