Sean Palfrey: Wander

Wander features Sean PalfreyâEUR(TM)s beautiful, varied and insightful travel photography and writings, exploring the joy of following a winding course. To wander is to travel without a fixed route or destination, to move idly through the world. Wander, the second volume in Sean PalfreyâEUR(TM)s photography book series, explores the joy of following a winding course. Palfrey is a renowned paediatrician and child health advocate, who travels the world with his work and for pleasure. His fascination with people, places and stories informs both his artistic and professional practices. Wander traces PalfreyâEUR(TM)s journeys across continents and cultures over five decades and features seventy photographs of remarkable places, from the Swartberg mountains in South Africa to the temples of Bali and the deserts of New Mexico, to name a few. In the text accompanying each photo, Palfrey explores the stories and myths of the localities as he recounts his experiences, thoughts and meditations in lyrical narratives. Wander depicts and describes vastness and intimacy, beauty and loss, heritage and change. Palfrey affirms photographyâEUR(TM)s capacity to spark our imaginations: âEUR¿Every photo here has a story, a back story, a then story, and a since story.âEUR(TM)
