Someone brought a guillotine to a city council meeting in Salem, Oregon on July 27, 2026. Not a sign shaped like one. Not a drawing. An actual guillotine structure appeared at the protest to oppose a proposed multi-billion-dollar AI data center. Company reps reportedly left, citing safety concerns.

I originally started filming Utrecht because of its cycling infrastructure. Looking back over seventeen years of footage, I realised I have documented something much bigger: the transformation of an entire city. Blog, video and playlist:

Utrecht: Seventeen Years of Change
When I first started filming in Utrecht in 2009, I had no idea I would still be documenting the city seventeen years later. Looking back through my archive, I realised how well I can show just how much has changed during that time. Few cities transform overnight, but Utrecht has changed remarkably in less than two decades.
