Field Evidence

Photographic proof that normality has been overstating its case.

Travel images, public nonsense, rust, politics, weather, animals with motives, and anything else that looks like it is waiting to be cross-examined.

Rusting Cuban train beside a Che Guevara mural and palm trees

Cuba / Rust / Revolutionary Decor

Cuba does not do subtle props.

A rusted train, a revolutionary tank, palm trees trying to soften the paperwork. Some places hand you a postcard. Cuba hands you a metaphor with tetanus and perfect light.

Management arrived on my shoulder.

The monkey handled snacks. The llama handled branding. I handled looking like I had signed the wrong waiver.

Public Nonsense

Bad signs, proud fences, official-looking confusion.

For notices, plaques, menus, warnings, and civic objects that appear to have been written by a committee trapped in a shed.

Nature Has Notes

Weather, wildlife, and plants making better arguments than people.

For the moments when the landscape quietly wins the debate and everyone with a clipboard should go home.
