You are sitting at your computer with thirty-four browser tabs open.

There is a specific kind of magic found in the organized chaos of a city. Whether it’s the sun-drenched, dusty intersections of Tamale, the neon-slicked streets of Tokyo, or the grand, shadow-heavy boulevards of Paris, urban environments offer a sensory feast that a camera often fails to fully digest. A photo captures a millisecond; a…
