About

Hello,
I'm Chen

This is where I keep the small things. Photos taken without a plan, videos of nothing in particular, words written late at night. A record of a life, going.

Chen

I pick up a camera the way other people pick up a pen — not to create something, exactly, but to pay attention. To slow the day down just long enough to actually see it.

This site started in late 2023 as a personal archive — somewhere to put the photos that never quite fit a social feed, the videos that were only ever meant for me, the journal entries that turned out to be worth keeping.

I don't have a style, a theme, or a subject. I have a life that I'm trying to pay attention to. This is what that looks like.
