Self Service 24-Hour Laundromats

Black and white photographs of self-service 24-hour laundromats. The first two photos document a couple of coin-operated laundromats in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail a township in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The final photo in the series features a laundromat in Siem Reap – Cambodia. I took this photo while on holiday in 2013.

Laundromats are popular in KL due to being open 24 hours. Doing the week’s washing with free WIFI, while eating a snack from a nearby restaurant sounds like a good idea.

“It’s great that it’s open 24 hours so we can come and wash the laundry when it isn’t so packed.”

I explore and document urban and natural environments, often focusing on reflections, shadows, and patterns. My camera walks allow me to capture found objects and scenes that tell stories through everyday details. In my journal, I share these explorations and offer a glimpse into my process.
