Dec 05: Precipitous - Remembering Dec 26A photo exhibition capturing the life and heartbeat that was before the 26 Dec 04 tsunami. Debby Ng, freelance photographer and established environmental and animal protection activist, took these images before the tsunami. At that time, she didn't know if the people in her pictures were still alive. She believes that until we recognize what existed in these places of tragedy, we will not realize what was truly lost. Debby is also author of the Hantu Blog.
