Photography is how I train my eye. Before I analyze a care model or design a facility, I observe, and the camera is the discipline that forces genuine attention to what is actually there, rather than what I expect to see.
This section gathers visual work across three ongoing practices:
Visual Anthropology
Documentary photography of communities, rituals, daily life, and human landscapes across Asia. This work sits alongside my ethnographic research and informs how I understand the cultures within which we build senior living communities.
Wildlife Photography
Observation of birds and wildlife, mostly from my balcony in Singapore and from travels across the region. A practice in patience, stillness, and noticing what is easily overlooked.

Hats of Humanity
A growing collection of ethnic and traditional headgear from communities across Asia, each one a small artifact of identity, craft, and cultural meaning.

Curated galleries and photo essays will be added to this section over time.
