ANOMALY 15-19-26
Out on the street, you walk, you observe, you keep walking, and when things briefly fall into place, you press the shutter.
On the 11th of February 2026, while building this website, I found myself doing exactly the same thing—only the street was a digital grid on my laptop, and the shutter was a screenshot.
When I uploaded a random batch of images to test how galleries work on Squarespace, an automated website algorithm blindly stacked two unrelated photographs, letting one spill perfectly into the other. A rotting wooden pillar from 2019 extended seamlessly into a stranger's stride from 2015.
The alignment was so precise it looked deliberate, so I took a screenshot to save the visual accident, and moved on.
It wasn't until a month later that the second layer of the coincidence hit me. There was more going on than just a simple juxtaposition of shapes and colors.
In the top photograph, shot from the South Bank, the broken wooden pillar frames a specific cluster of skyscrapers across the river. The bottom photograph, taken four years earlier, wasn't just shot somewhere in London. It was taken right there—down on the pavement, physically standing between the same towers highlighted in the picture above it.
The algorithm hadn’t just bridged two frames in a fleeting grid; it had folded the map of London back onto itself, by quietly dropping the 2019 skyline onto a close-up of its very own pavement of 2015.
A digital decisive moment that left me staring at an impossible vantage point—a place where you are simultaneously looking at a distant skyline and walking right through it, casually handing me a finished frame I could have never imagined or captured on my own.
