This is a photograph of a sketchbook with a drawing held up in front of a scene. The sketchbook shows a colorful forest scene with a path retreating into the distance. The sketch is held up such that it matches up with the real world view that was drawn — sort of. The sketch is dated 4-3-26. It is held up by Kyle’s left hand which has purple sparkly painted nails.

day 1189: I found a log to sit on and drew this view of the park earlier today.

I still have so much of this “new” park to explore, and a lot more art to create inspired by it 🌳

Through My Lens: Some kids love a stage, and Soho, NY provides a great audience. However the adults are typically blasé, just like New Yorkers are. Does this feel familiar from streets or spaces you know? #urbandesign #urbanplanning #placemaking #publicspace #citylife

Two people sit side by side on concrete steps overlooking Sergels torg in Stockholm, backlit by low afternoon sun, their faces mostly in shadow while the city stretches out in front of them with tram wires, a glass column sculpture, and busy streets below.

Through My Lens: Same wall, same posture—three different worlds. Public space doesn’t demand interaction; it just makes proximity possible. What does this kind of moment look like in your everyday places? #urbandesign #urbanplanning #placemaking #publicspace #citylife

Through My Lens: This guy wasn’t happy that I took his picture, but I like how he appropriates this streetscape nook. People adapt quickly when a place gives them something to work with. Have you seen people adapt spaces this way? #urbandesign #urbanplanning #placemaking #publicspace #citylife

Dear Nick Timothy: Trafalgar Square Does Not Belong to You A brief on public space, selective outrage, and the curious discovery that Muslims count as “the public”

Nick Timothy did not uncover an extremist plot. He saw Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square, described it as an “act of domination”, and he linked it to an “Islamist playbook”.

A dimly lit waterfront boardwalk at night in Stockholm, with fog softening distant buildings and neon signs across the water, warm streetlights reflecting on wet surfaces, and a wooden bench in the foreground marked with faint graffiti, the scene empty and quiet with no people visible.

Sidewalks were built for walking—but that’s changing fast.

As e-scooters rise, cities face a key question: how do we balance speed, safety, and shared space?

Through My Lens: No reservation required. A storefront edge turns into a living room, the street into shared space, simply because it allows it. Where does this happen naturally, without being planned? #urbandesign #urbanplanning #placemaking #publicspace #citylife
