THINGS I NOTICE

Small things. Easily missed.

A weathered blue wooden door, third in a row along a sun-warmed Roman street. Soft natural light, freshly painted deliberate blue against aged plaster wall.

The blue door, third on the left

Rome · 2026

It was painted recently. Someone chose that colour deliberately. I keep thinking about the choice.

A café window in Florence with hand-lettered painted signage, letters slightly uneven and imperfect, gold and dark script on glass, soft reflections.

Florence · 2026

A café window. The letters slightly uneven. Better for it.

Laundry strung across a narrow canal street in Burano, mid-afternoon light, colourful linens against pastel painted houses, gentle stillness.

Burano · 2026

A thin strip of sea glimpsed between two colourful Cinque Terre buildings, framed by accident, only visible from one exact angle.
