A book-in-progress about people and places in pre-pandemic Seattle
For the last 10 years, I’ve been working on a photo-essay book about people and places in Seattle that’s really about rap, colonization, sports, food, political economy, philosophy, and what it may (or may not) mean to be Filipinx in America.
It’s been halfway done for years.
To get myself to finally push through the second half, I’m launching a realtime journal of fragments-in-progress or drafts that will be cut from the manuscript that I will eventually submit to my editors at University of Washington press.
