Odessa Catacombs, Ukraine. 7 September 2013. I took these photos exactly 10 years ago today – my first trip into the Odessa Catacombs, one of the world's largest urban labyrinths, with a total length of tunnels believed to extend as far as 2,500 km.

@ReinkePhotos Sorry! I got confused. This image was made with MidJourney, but the tool I used for checking whether my work was included in training sets is here: haveibeentrained.com

@ex_utopia MidJourney can tell you if it's trained on your pics?

"A Brutalist Xanadu beneath pink skies, where strange children play in the rivers of wine." There's a tool to check if your photos or art have been used in AI training sets. Mine very much have. Playing with these images, from time to time I’ve been experiencing deja vu…

The Disneyfication of #Skopje, #NorthMacedonia. Wonderful, raw, authentic concrete is slowly consumed by plastic plaster and fake pillars. The “Skopje 2014” project, aimed at remodelling the whole city in this new style, is reported to have cost the country ~€560 million.

@Hunor10 Yeah, honestly, I think it was a much better story than the script they went with. It expanded the world rather than shrinking it.

@ex_utopia Yes. :) That one. I think it was a really good idea as a third one.

“Let the pathways leading here, to the legendary Buzludzha Peak… never fall into disrepair.” - Todor Zhivkov at the opening ceremony, 23 August 1981. The #Buzludzha Memorial House –the “People’s Monument,” as it was conceived by architect Georgi Stoilov– is 42 years old today.

@ex_utopia If I am ever asked to make the missing Alien 3 movie with the Communist faction, I would spend 100s of hours looking through your work. Great photos!

This time last month, I attended an exhibition of art by Maria Prymachenko, inside the Ukrainian House International Convention Centre in Kyiv. Don't get me wrong, the art was great... but I confess I spent a lot of my time there gazing up at this ceiling instead.

Renovation work at Interhotel Veliko Turnovo. I've just been sent these images showing the latest progress. It looks as though they're doing a good job of preserving the original look and feel of the building, though I'm curious what they're going to do with the interiors.

Sunflowers and storm clouds on the road to Slavutych, #Ukraine. We visited Irpin, Bucha and Borodyanka on Thursday. Chernihiv and Slavutych on Friday. I have seen a lot, and heard many stories. It has been incredibly difficult. But in between there are also moments of beauty.
