I See a Red Door

A black door in Bristol, UK, painted with pink text reading “I see a red door and I want it painted black,” set between white-painted brick with turquoise graffiti and pale brickwork.

A Bristol doorway turns a familiar lyric into street-text: part joke, part threshold, part urban colour study.

Under Montréal

Long-exposure colour photograph of a train blurring past the Champ-de-Mars platform in the Montréal Métro, viewed from the platform entrance at the bottom of the stairs.

A photo essay from the Montréal Métro, where colour, motion, tiled surfaces, and human scale turn underground infrastructure into a study of daily passage.
