Think of a large exhibition taking several rooms. The viewer can stop and look at several images that possibly are themed and work together or offer some form of relief from the tension of prior or coming images. I would consider breaking it into several folio's as you have several themes that could be grouped together while adding in some other strong images left on the floor so to speak. Your images of children are quite strong both as documentaries of time and place as well as just kinder being kinder. Your images of men admiring women in way now not allowed in the U.S. would also make a nice alcove in an exhibition. Then you have a large group of "portraits" that would also fill a room; pacing the emotion shown would make a strong folio or exhibition. In summary, I think that in a book form there should be definite breaks perhaps with a written comment between sections. As an electronic presentation I would break the images as well into themes. I looked at the images first on my phone so was presented them one at a time; second take was on the large screen so saw a grid which was not as powerful a presentation. This makes me think that a slide show style presentation would be more powerful. Images could still be grouped so presented together as appropriate. Very strong group of images that delights, makes one pause and consider, mirrors strong emotions that bring all of us to places we may relish or perhaps avoid but need to revisit for growth. Well done indeed. All the best, and to rephrase a friend of mine; keep pushing that shutter button eventually you will get what you want.
