A conceptual still life inspired by the tension and silence that follows a decisive move.
Shot with controlled studio lighting, using smoke and a diffused flash to create a cinematic, moody atmosphere.
The idea was to capture the symbolic contrast between victory and defeat - the calm after conflict.
An old soul with a youthful spirit—selling stories and goods on the streets of Krakow. The leather jacket matches his bold attitude, proving style knows no age.
A Saturday evening, still snowing, cold, quiet.
The white building in the background is the World Trade Center Edmonton. Built between 1951-1954 for Imperial Bank of Canada, delays caused by steel shortages post WWII. Imperial merged with Canadian Bank of Commerce to form CIBC in 1961. Style is classic modern from what I gather, it was repurposed as a trade centre in 2004.
Architect: Arthur J Everett (Imperial Bank staff)
Style: Modern Classical
Architect (2004): David Murray | HIP Architects

Nestled along the vibrant Embarcadero waterfront, the Hyatt Regency San Francisco’s iconic atrium is nothing short of an architectural marvel. Opened in 1973, this record-breaking structure, designed by renowned architect John Portman, boasts the largest hotel atrium in the world at the time, soaring an awe-inspiring 17 floors high. Upon entering, you’re immediately enveloped in its vast scale: expansive glass elevators glide effortlessly up the walls, offering panoramic views of the bustling interior below and the intricate geometric skylight above. The soaring ceilings allow natural light to flood the atrium, creating a stunning contrast with the bold concrete structures, a hallmark of the Brutalist architecture style that defined the era.
Portman’s vision was to create more than just a hotel lobby—this grand space was designed to feel like a city within a city, fostering social interaction while giving guests a sense of urban retreat. Crisscrossing walkways and balconies offer visitors both intimate and sweeping views, adding depth and texture to the already impressive space. The design was so influential that the atrium has appeared in films like High Anxiety and Towering Inferno, further cementing its cultural relevance.
Situated in San Francisco’s Financial District, the Hyatt Regency is just steps away from iconic landmarks like the Ferry Building Marketplace, the Bay Bridge, and the vibrant waterfront piers. Its location makes it perfect for both business travelers and tourists looking to explore the city. Whether you’re staying the night or simply visiting, this monumental atrium is a must-see—an enduring testament to forward-thinking design that continues to inspire architects and travelers alike.

More than 1.2 million people are estimated to have turned out for the inaugural three-day Tour de Yorkshire, race organisers have said.
Stage One from Bridlington to Scarborough saw 250,000 spectators line the streets on Friday, according to estimates by police and race officials.
Another 450,000 braved chilly weather to watch the riders as they raced from Selby to York in Saturday's Stage Two.
Even bigger crowds of 500,000-750,000 saw the Wakefield to Leeds final leg.
The race was set up as a legacy event in the wake of last summer's successful Tour de France Grand Depart in Yorkshire, which attracted more than 2.5 million people to the county and generated about £100m for the regional economy.
Organisers of the Tour de Yorkshire predicted about one million people would take to the streets to welcome some of the world's top cyclists, with a line-up including Sir Bradley Wiggins.

Bentley Azure 2nd Generation (2006-09) Engine 6781cc V8 Twin Turbo
Registration Number 647 FS (Cherished number, first allocated for Edinburgh)

Introduced as a two door Convertible, production of the new Azure began for the 2006 model year. based on the Arnage platform, power comes from the current variant of the Bentley turbocharged V8 making 450 bhp and 645 ft-lbs of torque. The Arnage was designed for the BMW 4.4-litre engine. However, due to the takeover battle in 1998 between BMW and Volkswagen Group for ownership of Rolls Royce and Bentley Motors, BMW had threatened to stop supply of their engines if Volkswagen Group won. While the threat was later withdrawn in conjunction with BMW acquiring the right to manufacture Rolls-Royce automobiles at a new location, it was clear that Volkswagen could not accept the business and reputation risks associated with having their rival as a long-term business partner. Volkswagen was thus forced to significantly re-work the "original" 6.75-liter Rolls-Royce/Bentley V8 in 2001, including a switch from the old single-turbo system to a modern twin-turbocharger setup, reducing turbo-lag and increasing horsepower output. A new, 6-speed ZF 6HP-26 automatic transmission fed power to the rear wheels. Bentley claims a 0 to 60 mile-per-hour time of 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 168 mph
In 2008 Bentley launched the Azure T to the range as a higher performance version, The Azure T has 20-inch five-spoke, Pirelli shod, two-piece alloy wheels 'Le Mans' lower front wing air vents, dark-tinted upper and lower grilles, 'jewel' fuel filler cap (made from billet aluminium) and wing mirror mountings finished in body colour. The twin turbo engine was tuned to 500bhp and 738 lb-foot of torque, it has a top speed of 179mph and a 0-60mph sprint time of 5.1 seconds

1963; The Courtship of Eddie's Father by Mark Toby. Movie Tie-in. unknown Artist.
This is a great family story about a young boy and his dad struggling to move on with their lives after his mother's death. Young Eddie is determined to help his father find the right woman, so there is plenty of humor to get past the sad part. If you liked The Bridge to Terabithia, you'll probably find value in this modern classic as well. It inspired the film starring Glenn Ford (The Blackboard Jungle, Superman), Ronny Howard (The Music Man, Andy Griffith), Shirley Jones (The Music Man, Oklahoma), and Stella Stevens (The Nutty Professor), as well as the TV series starring Bill Bixby (The Incredible Hulk), and a more recent TV pilot with Josh Hutcherson (Bridge to Terabithia, Little Manhattan). This early paperback edition has a picture from the film on the back cover, and a likeness of young Ronny Howard on the front.
An Australian-built 2003 Holden Commodore SS ‘Ute’ car-based coupe utility pickup; fitted W/ 5.7-Litre “LS1” V8, painted in “Hothouse Green”. Age-related plate “V94 DPS”, imported to the U.K. in 2008. Spotted in Ryedale, North Yorkshire, U.K. A very rare car over here!
A portrait that fuses the grandeur of antiquity with the intimacy of modern portraiture. Draped in bronze-toned fabric, the subject stands before gilded patterns and a framed echo of himself, embodying both hero and reflection. The interplay of light, texture, and pose evokes the timeless dialogue between myth and memory—where the body becomes both statue and story, and the gaze lingers like an oracle across centuries.
Bronze folds gather like whispers of empire,
a mantle of centuries drawn across the skin.
The walls bloom with gilded echoes,
and in the frame—your second self waits,
a mirror not of glass, but of memory.
You stand as both statue and storm,
a figure carved from light and shadow,
bearing the weight of silence like a crown.
The pendant rests where the heart declares itself,
the bracelet gleams like a shackle of gods.
Is this the body of one man,
or the myth of all men reborn?
The gaze answers nothing,
yet commands everything—
a hymn of bronze,
an oracle clothed in fire.
With its rhythmic vertical lines, scalloped roofline, and pale façade glowing against the sky, the apartment building at 851 Eddy Street in San Francisco’s Tenderloin/Van Ness corridor is a pristine example of Art Deco residential design. Located near the intersection of Eddy and Van Ness Avenue, this mid-rise gem is often overlooked—but for fans of historical architecture and streamlined design, it offers an elegant slice of 1930s modernity tucked into a busy urban block.
The building’s architectural details are classic Art Deco: fluted pilasters rise between the windows, giving the structure a sense of vertical lift and movement. Each parapet bay is topped with a sculptural, crown-like detail that mimics the appearance of cut stone or pressed concrete. The building's restrained palette—primarily white with subtle shadows cast by structural relief—lets the geometry speak for itself. Tall, evenly spaced windows allow ample natural light into the apartments and reinforce the emphasis on balance and proportion that defines the Deco style.
Constructed during the early-to-mid 20th century, this building likely emerged during San Francisco’s pre-war housing boom, when Art Deco was the architectural language of choice for hotels, cinemas, and residential towers alike. It joins a small but beloved group of Deco structures that dot the Tenderloin, Civic Center, and Nob Hill—adding vertical punctuation to otherwise flat, gridded streetscapes.
In this photograph, the building is captured from a low corner angle, emphasizing its towering symmetry and clean upward momentum. Trees soften the lower floors while deep blue skies and scattered clouds create a cinematic backdrop for the building’s whitewashed exterior. Neighboring Victorians and modern infill structures surround it, but the Deco building asserts its identity through confidence, not ostentation.
The fire escape, hugging the east elevation, adds texture without disrupting the vertical rhythm. And the subtle aging of the paint and plaster shows this building isn’t frozen in time—it’s a working piece of San Francisco’s living architectural history.
Whether you’re an Art Deco enthusiast, a cityscape photographer, or simply someone attuned to the small visual triumphs that make San Francisco so rich, 851 Eddy is worth noticing. It speaks to a moment in the city’s evolution when forward-looking design met practical urban housing—and the results remain quietly beautiful to this day.
