In 2003, the photographer Thomas Holton found himself in Manhattan in a fifth-floor apartment in a Ludlow Street tenement in Chinatown. He was with a local housing advocate, and he asked the occupants, the Lams, if he could shoot photos in the 350-foot space.
Thirteen years later, Mr. Holton, now 46, is still documenting Steven and Shirley Lam (their preferred American names) and their New York-born children, Michael, Franklin and Cindy.
