Moyra Davey is a Canadian-born photographer and writer, who now lives and works in New York. Her work focuses down on objects and their individual histories. Davey's photographs and writings (ed. of Mother Reader, author of The Problem of Reading and Long Life Cool White) have this lovely sense of intimacy to them.
