& so Lunar New Year is a durational effort, a sequence of 4 digital, 13 analog vertically oriented portraits, all made handheld with found and available light, presented in order of exposures taken.

Not all is pictured, not all are pictured, just what & who was made available through any number of very specific & amorphous conditions & agreements on this day.
