24 November: For Red Wolf
24 November: 6ºC, feels like it should be frosty, but it’s not. First coffee of the day, and I’m looking out the kitchen window at a woman in a blue plaid lumberjack shirt. Her white dog is wearing a matching gilet. I never clothed my dog. My dog was a dog. A neighbour dresses her…

24 November: 06 Völuspá
Völuspá: Svalin He carries a shield,calls it Svalin. It stands before sun, more gloriousthan cold iron. Deity of sea and rock,heaven, hawks and Hel dogs. Burnt from the place it fell,weary weight of the sun. Awake. Its face is triumphant andby its one name it’s always been known. By its one purpose, ancientsoul destroyer. It…

20 November: Usaquen Street Vendor
I took this photo five years ago in the Usaquen District of Bogotá, Colombia. He was selling jewellery – speaking with customers in an easy, comfortable way, his back resting against the white-washed wall of a churchyard.
