Murder and Afternoon Tea on the Orient Express

“The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances,” wrote Agatha Christie in her iconic 1934 novel, Murder on the Orient Express, which was adapted into a Hollywood motion picture this year featuring an all-star cast including Johnny Depp, Kenneth Brannagh, Michelle Pfeiffer, Willem Dafoe and Penelope Cruz. It still feels…

Meet Benjamin Franklin’s Girlfriends

Sure, on the surface, Benjamin Franklin might have all the sex appeal of a hedgehog, but back in the day, the Founding Father was renowned for an unparalleled charm that not only made him America’s most valuable asset in foreign affairs, but a major hit with the ladies. Especially with French ladies. In 1776, a 70-year-old…

New York’s Most Secretly Photogenic Street

Sylvan Terrace is one of those parts of New York where buildings are lower, exactly two-stories, and people look like they are living in a secret world of their own, time traveling behind their emerald shutters into the late-19th century. Two lines of wooden houses, twenty on each side in uniform facade and height, create…

A Counterfeit Dreamland Lost

When I share a new photographer’s (or anyone’s) work on this blog, I guess the ultimate hope is that they might get in contact one day with the news that they just had a sold out show or scored a publishing deal for their own book. Well recently, that hope finally became a reality when…

The Woman who staged a Private Revolution from her Photo Studio

For decades after her death, Marie Høeg’s secrets remained hidden, until the 1980s, when a box of 440 glass plate negatives marked “private” was found inside a disused barn in Oslo, Norway. The discovery revealed the near-forgotten rebellion of a group of women and friends experimenting with gender in an era of strict conventions surrounding sexuality…

Scotland’s Sleeping Castle

She’s been asleep for over half a century. Cocooned by a forest, half swallowed by nature’s encroaching fingers. A forgotten castle in the Scottish Highlands, waiting for its story to continue or find an ending. Such places do exist, you just have to be curious enough to find them. If you’ve read my road trip guide to Scotland, you’ll know that…

Don’t Be a Tourist in Scotland: The MessyNessy Road Trip Guide

Scotland is the place you choose when the idea of another summer spent doing the same damn thing as everyone else starts to lose its appeal. It’s the place that you choose when you realise Scotland has landscapes that look like they’re from another planet and that you quite like the idea of escaping to another, very beautiful…

The Secret Chelsea Garden

Blink and you would actually miss it, the mid-Victorian white stucco terrace house at Number 16 Sumner Place blends ever so inconspicuously with the rest of the perfectly picturesque Chelsea townhouses. Number Sixteen is a boutique hotel that feels less like a hotel and more like the London pied-à-terre of your wealthy bohemian fairy godmother, god…

A Cozy Weekend Guide to the Cotswolds

On a whim, as weekends are best planned, we hopped over the English channel to conquer the Cotwolds (and as many pubs as we could possibly fit inside of 48 hours). All winter, I’ve been longing to revisit the English countryside, tuck into a Beef Wellington with a pint of ale beside the roaring fireplace of a…

Welcome to the Messy World of Jerry’s Junk

Staring out at you from behind those rusty gates; thousands of tightly packed, unwanted objects from the past sit in an eerie silence, almost as if they might just come alive as soon as you turn your back. Each and every single one has been collected by Kentucky’s King of Junk, who has made a temporary home for them…
