Where I slept
This week’s visual digest. One of them’s actually a square – try to guess which!

Lots of cracking images from this year’s World Press Photo awards, but I particularly like Anush Babajanyan’s photographic study of the effects of diverted water sources in the once-thriving agricultural communities of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Steven Shore’s photos (directed by Noah Baumbach) of Debbie Harry from W Magazine, 2020. Even though she’s browsing records from the wrong side of the boxes … she’s so damn cool.

Slovakian photographer Maria Svarbova. Lost count of the number of movie poster mood boards I’ve seen this particular shot on.

Can’t stop looking at this photograph Moose Allan shot while out and about. So many little details, such fantastic composition. The graffiti dwarfed by its concrete canvas reminds of Lee Madwick’s art.

Love this cover for Libby Angel’s Where I Slept by designer W.H. Chong, using a photograph by Konrad Winkler, from his Love at First Sight series. I bet there were many emails back and forth about whether to not to let the logo intrude the type!
One last thing: I am, of course, on Threads. It’s early days, and the whole thing feels very unfinished, but I’m optimistic the various talented designers unceremoniously jettisoned from twitter will turn it into something good.
That is all.
