攝Finding beauty in the everyday and the overlooked. Yunnan, the Pearl River Delta, mainland Southeast Asia, and now here.

A chosen few
Forty-eight, picked by hand and hung so that no two neighbours come from the same place. Not every photograph that exists needs to be here, and the early ones mostly do not. Open one to see it whole.
Where the photographs went
They were given away under a licence that asks for nothing, and they went. The map is inked wherever one of them surfaced with her name on it. It is only what a search engine can see; most of the uses carry a printed credit, and a few kept nothing but the filename.
