Synopsis

Wander, the second volume in Sean Palfrey's photography book series features his 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 expectantly through the world.

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 Palfrey's journeys across continents and cultures over five decades and features seventy photographs of remarkable places, from the mountain ranges of South Africa to the beaches of Chile, the woods of Canada to 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 photography's capacity to spark our imaginations: 'Every photo here has a story, a back story, a then-story and a since-story.'
