In 2008 James Kerr travelled to Thailand and the UK to re-connect with his origins. Primarily a journey to visit the town of his birth in Yorkshire, which he had not seen since leaving as a very young child, his visit took him to various places from his past in Thailand, England, Scotland and Wales. The images in the book Journey (2011) follow this trip, and document the people and places he met along the way. The individually numbered books, in a limited edition of 100, are available via the Perth Centre for Photography and Dymocks Bookshop in Fremantle.
