A small tabby cat reclining on a table football table just in front of the red team's goalkeeper.
A crocheted rectangle that will one day become a big scarf. It's a gradient from purple to green with lighter spots. It is the other side of the next photo.
A flat-bar bike propped up against a weathered wooden park bench. You can see a tarmac path in the mid-ground and bushes, trees and long grass.
A painted iron column with a white relief plaque and red, white and black polychromatic brickwork arch in the background. The column is painted red; the column capital is a design of green leaves and white dogwood flowers. The white plaque in the background has a similar design of carved dogwood flowers. A scalloped metal floor is just visible at the top of the photo.
View of Old Joe clocktower in the morning. The sky is grey and it's a bit misty.
An extremely close up, blurry, out of focus photo of an Egyptian goose staring at us head-on.
Three Indian people's inner forearms in a row. We are pallid and wan: sad beige, sad grey and sad yellow. None of us are what you would describe as a healthy colour.
An orange cat lying on his back on a grey sofa. He has a paw draped artistically over his face.
Some very very wobbly garter stitch knitting featuring many dropped stitches and general wonkiness
A small white parrot egg lying on white papers in a cage. The top of the egg has broken off and we can see a yellow yolk
A photo of a notebook, fourteen highlighters (each a different colour) and a biro lying on a rug. The notebook contains a list of thematic codes: each code has a different highlighter colour associated with it.
A person with brown skin, short black hair and glasses, wearing blue baggy jeans, a studded belt, a grey hoodie and, inexplicably, reflective armbands strikes a dramatic pose for the camera. They are in a cluttered living room. You can see two sofas in matching kinda ugly patterned fabric, a coffee table covered in random mess and an open bottle of wine, and a storage crate in the background over which someone has placed some lacy fabric to try to disguise that it's a storage crate. It's not really working to disguise anything.
A round, golden brown sourdough loaf. It's fresh out of the oven and resting on a kitchen hob to cool down.
Low cloud shrouding the hills at dusk, with almost perfectly still lake water in the foreground and dark trees on the other side of the lake
A small, white, slightly misshapen egg lying on a green leaf-patterned cloth next to two blue Pionus flight feathers
Two smiling people. Laura is white with short brown hair. She is dressed in crimson PhD robes and a black velvet cap. Kat is brown and wears round-framed framed glasses, a grey suit and a light blue shirt. In the background is a building with tall pillars. Three huge red banners with Harvard's shield hang from the pillars.
A photo of a fairly sizable agouti brown rat sitting on a kerb.
Photo of a night city scene taken at the corner of West 44th Street and 10th Avenue. There are lit up tower blocks in the background, and the car headlights reflect off the road.
A photo of a transit map of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority map. There is a hand-drawn edit of the extension between East Somerville and Medford/Tufts
A superbly murky grey English beach in January. Everything - the shore, the sea, the sky, the breaking wave - is a murky shade of grey.
Photo of a powerpoint slide on a laptop screen. Screenshot of Hilary Clinton's tweet of The Atlantic headline: "the Trump administration accidentally texted me its war plans". Clinton's comment is "👀 You have got to be kidding me" Slide text reads: "Current issue What does this say about... - The use of platforms? Which platforms? - How information is shared and discussed - and by whom? - Information security? - Security breaches, and what ought to happen to address one? - BUT HER EMAILS. - Whose mistakes/catastrophic breaches of security are excused?"
A pair of glasses snapped at the bridge. They are on a yellow table top
A sculpture of three sperm whales hanging vertically in the nave of a cathedral. Two of the whales represent adults; one represents a calf. The whales are dark blue-grey and are made of silky fabric and discarded ocean waste like nets. The cathedral is in the perpendicular gothic style and made of pale stone. The nave gives a sense of vast space and light.
Movie poster for Schindler's List, showing an adult man's hand reaching out and clasping the hand of a young child. Their hands and arms are pale against a dark background. Red text of people's names is overlaid on the image
A fossil shell, still with silver iridescence, embedded in dark grey rock.
A teeny-tiny Anna's hummingbird. Its body has green feathers, with pink-red iridescent feathers under its throat and on its chest. The feathers look almost metallic under the light
A small, wet, post-shower parrot rubs her beak against a brown bowl attached to a perch. Her feathers are dark with water. She has dark brown eyes and the skin around her eyes is dark pink. She has pink feet and a yellow beak. She has a cheeky expression and is watching the camera.
Kat is a brown person wearing clear framed glasses and a green hat. They are leaning on Laura, who is a white person and wearing a black and white checked scarf. They are both smiling widely. It is dark and they are both holding flaming torches
