About me

I am Peter Lin, a member of the Georgetown Prep class of 2026, originally from Beijing, China.
My passion for photography is longstanding, stretching back to when I was ten and accidentally broke my mother’s camera.
Instead of punishing me, she gave me a toy camera to play with — and from then on I was never without a camera by my side. I’m particularly interested in photography’s ability to make permanent the ephemeral.
My photographs are divided into four sections: Gansu, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, and Tibet.
