TAO PO?
Tao Po? is Jen's photo blog/diary, reflecting her fervent curiosity about people and how we live. Started out as a personal blog (thus the oversharing) to de-stress and make sense of seemingly disparate stories, otherwise known as 'life'.
This space is where she puts her natural talkativeness (in pen, person, and hopefully in photographs), and her abnormally high tolerance for awkward and bizarre situations to better use.
