It’s been a hazy day. I suspected that the street market on Tachbrook Street cooked too much meat, to be honest. For a reason.

Hagia Sophia that was dropped in Hampton Court and rolled its way through Alhambra.

Almost like a presentation, but it's definitely not a backdrop for a speaker — something closer to a doodle for a listener.

Among many possible answers: they lived in the Tower.

Close-ups bordering on discomfort and wide shots showing a bit too much of everything. In December 2025, this series of photos of Trump’s closest advisers sparked a lot of social media debate.

This is a companion piece to another, news-style text:
Christopher Anderson on his White House portraits (Vanity Fair).

On everyday choices and vintage womanhood.

The first sunset of the new year.

On my way to the Carol Service at the Tower church.

Alexandra & Ainsworth Estate. Not far from Abbey Road (yes, that one).

Autumn evening, stone, and the Thames below.

Somewhere, deep in the pile of scholarly articles I have in my mind — not a “mind palace,” but a “mind flatshare” where everybody comes from all walks of life and refuses to clean up — I have an explanation of why this dichotomy is important in the history of human relationships with time.

This window commemorates that the poet was married here -- and, decades and decades later, a vicar was unhappy with previous interior design decisions.

This sketch was made during a street festival held by the National Portrait Gallery. Unfortunately, the artist is unknown.

A castle in the middle of a bustling city, with its own village-like community of residents (all the mod cons — the pub, the green, and an execution space — are present).

A gallery about people, for the people, as they describe themselves. From the Tudors to Harry Styles, this museum is about meeting people face to face, whether in portraiture or in person.

When commemorative practices meet physical labour on the grounds of a UNESCO World Heritage site, all you need is to stay in the shadow.

Are the crew members angels bringing a message to humankind?

A fairy kingdom in the middle of Westminster, like nature itself, Onion Garden is ever-changing.

Did my best to keep my drawing quick.

From a drop-in drawing session at the National Portrait Gallery.

A delight for all the middle-aged passers-by, this East London coffee shop does its best to live up to its name.

I’m a simple person. Colourful places make me happy.

Some minor exchanges eventually engrave themselves on memory, as if there were a special place for them – not in the moment, but on the scale of events.

The Christmas steps are a visually interesting (yet possibly physically challenging) structure. It's also a track of Mogwai.

Process.

Under the rain (from time to time).

From the hotel's window.

A green space overlooking Buckingham Palace. For some, this park is even too curated and crowded.

A bright afternoon.

Working with what I have.

Being bold here.

Another bright evening.

Something that I posted with a hashtag #wiresdaily.

With tiny shops selling necessities like candles and artisan chocolate, Columbia Road is famous for its Sunday flower market.
