Noon had witnesses.

Two men on a sidewalk, caught in the kind of light that does not flatter anyone.
The sunglasses do half the talking. The shadows do the rest.

The Door Was Not the Problem

The head arrived first.
Then the strap.
Then the door, black enough to keep its mouth shut.

Street, black and white. Close enough to be rude, not close enough to apologise.

The City Buttoned Wrong.

Ten Provoke photographs from one week of hard light, worn pavements, civic absurdity, and small public failures.

Not a ranking. An edit.

Ricoh GR IV Monochrome
Profile, cap, pipe. The wall dirties everything with a fairly unpleasant honesty.

The stop that does not wait.
Ricoh GRIV Monochrome.
Blown-out light, three silhouettes, and a pavement with no mercy. The street does not always focus. Sometimes it just pushes.

Star With a Monday Face
Ricoh GR IV Monochrome
A star too large to work as a head. Hanging eyes, dirty black, clinical white. The portrait does not look: it stands guard.

Star With a Monday Face
Ricoh GR IV Monochrome
A badly combed star covers the head. Eyes hang like evidence. White shows no mercy.

I would not ask for flying. Too many people already look down on the world and call it perspective.

The superpower I’d want is smaller and more useful: make false words lose their teeth. Slogans, promises, patriotic speeches, spiritual brochures — open your mouth, please.

The White Helmet Waits.

The chair is empty, the cutlery is ready, the doorway is black, and the street is overexposed enough to confess nothing.

One still figure. Several blurred excuses.
