Documenting the world around me one frame at a time. I sporadically publish photo essays through my newsletter at https://jacquespixelart.substack.com. Through my photography and writing, I hope to bring a bit of positivity to this strange world.

We are a few weeks away from June, International Pride Month, and I am in a pissy mood. #Pride #LGBTI+ #Queer #documentaryPhotography jacquespixelart.substack.com/p/things-get...

Vrijheid en democratie zijn nooit vanzelfsprekend. Vandaag vieren we de bevrijding van fascisme en tirannie in Nederland. Ik ben dankbaar voor de offers van hen die hebben gevochten en zijn gestorven voor het ideaal van een open en vrije samenleving in dit prachtige land. #NeverForget #Nederland

Fuck Harry Potter Go read The Sapling Cage by @margaret.bsky.social It's about a young trans witch & has a pretty strong allegory for climate change. There's gonna be two more books coming as well I think

Fairytales and palaces go together. Squint and you’ll see Belle in the tower window. #photography

Visiting the place I called called home. Feeling like a familiar stranger. Knowing the language but forgetting the words. Sea Point Pavilion, Cape Town South Africa. #urbanlandscapes #landscapephotography

Coming across this collection of vintage SCOPE mags made me smile. I remember growing up in ‘80s South Africa when they had little stars on the nipples because published nudity was banned. I never had a collection of these. I didn’t realize why until I saw Bruce Springsteen in tight jeans.

"Freedom of the press, freedom of association, the inviolability of domicile, and all the rest of the rights of man are respected so long as no one tries to use them against the privileged class. On the day they are launched against the privileged they are overthrown." ~ Peter Kropotkin

If you happen to pass through Amsterdam in the next few months I can recommend the American Photography exhibition at the Rijksmuseum. Works from their permanent collection and on loan show a concise reflection of photography in the USA. On until 9 June #Rijksmuseum #Photography

Get angry, make art! Or in this case help me collect songs to listen to while doing it. #playlist #AntiFacist #music #resist

Afternoon walk in #Kavala #Greece. It was chilly but bright. A few spring flowers made an early appearance. #travelphotography #landscapePhotography #Photography

#Copenhagen is one of my favourite cities. The first time I visited it left me uninspired. During my second visit I fell in love. #photography #abstractPhotography #Architecture

I wish many blessings upon you today.

My Godzilla vs Mothra (1966) poster arrived from Japan. I think it’s a repro - probably a couple of decades old. Still very cool. At the framers.

I took this picture in 2013 - my second visit to London. I don't think the Earls Court Olympia building still stands, there was talk of knocking it down to build a residential development. No doubt something ugly and totally unaffordable. #StreetPhotography #London #DocumentaryPhotography

I am going to try to be more disciplined about posting and publishing this year. No promises, though. open.substack.com/pub/jacquesp...

@margaret.bsky.social - I saw this today - apros your guest appearance on Behind The Batards. A bit tankie in its tenor but the message still rings true.
