Global Symmetries in Travel Photography: Examining the What, not Where, of an Image

There’s a popular expression in Southeast Asia that could double as the Symmetry Project’s tagline: same same, but different.

For example, your home may look different than my home, but they both serve the same core need: providing shelter. It doesn’t matter if we live next door or on the other side of the world.
~same same, but different!

By sorting my travel photography archives by “what” instead of “where,” I have identified a wide variety of core needs and responsibilities that all people share.

Home: from Thailand to America, Cambodia and Hong Kong…it’s where the heart rests

Across the world, everyone has to:

// eat something;
// move from here to there;
// earn a living;
// tidy up;
// keep in touch;
// get stuff; and
// find faith…
…to name a few.

Interacting with the Symmetry Project

Comprising of four finished pieces, the Symmetry Project is ready for gallery display, purchase, licensing, and commission: but I need your help spreading the word.

Any social shares, links from your Web site, promotion ideas, gallery suggestions,
introductions, feedback, etc, would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!

    I like your photos a lot. Wow – I hope to join you in Thailand soon. I don’t know how to put together a web site or be a digital nomad but maybe some day I will acquire this skill set and work from my laptop.

      Thanks for the kind words Mike. Please do let me know if/when you make it to Chiang Mai and we’ll grab a beer/curry/coffee.
