Great to receive a copy of Pandemic Objects, edited by Brendan Cormier, a handsome covid compendium for which I wrote about Toilet Roll, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds vam.ac.uk/blog/projects/…

One of the many joys of making Pandemic Objects was getting to have many of my own pics and memories of the pandemic preserved in print. Here are a couple, including the moment Azadeh and I first got a Covid test in Dalston and the changing scenes in Clissold Park.

What movie would you recommend someone watch if you wanted them to get a good idea of what Toronto looks/feels/sounds like? My go to is Last Night or Scott Pilgrim Vs the World, but I’m sure there are better suggestions.

Maybe the best paparazzi / critique of paparazzi shots ever taken, Swedish actress Anita Ekberg bringing out the bow and arrow to fend off invasive photographers from her private residence, 1960.

4 years after starting the project, Pandemic Objects - the Book - is finally here. Grateful to the dozens of colleagues across the V&A who contributed, those who contributed outside the museum, and the Architectural Association for transforming a blog into beautiful pristine printed matter.

This is a really nice feature on a major work we commissioned for the opening of Photo City at V&A Dundee , a 20,000-photo collage portrait of the city by Sohei Nishino. theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Really excited to open this next week in Dundee, about how photographic technology influences the way we conceive, design and inhabit cities. And how city life is increasingly blurred between image worlds and physical worlds. @vadundee

The Face of Toronto, Ralph Greenhill (1960) a remarkable little photo book of Toronto I found in the RPS Special Collection. Even more remarkable how few of the buildings in this book still exist.
