TATJANA LOH



May you live in interesting times.  A fake Chinese curse

 

Usually family albums show the good times: birthdays, vacations, and holidays.

These albums don't show the moments of loss, sickness, and lice-infestation.

But, it is in these moments of the ordinary, the darkness, or grotesque, where families also can make strong bonds and lasting memories.

 

As a daughter, sister, wife and aunt, I hope that our life will be full of birthdays, vacations, and holidays.  As a photographer, I know that we will have to live through those interesting times as well, so I bring a lot of film to capture the memories that we can share, remember and sigh over.
