This is a #latergram (and my way of displacing the heaviness of this week. For all its performative and exhibitionist quality, IG still offers a kind of medicative escapism).

I've arranged my favourites by order in the swipe gallery.

Vietnamese drip coffee for #internationalcoffeeday
Ran a #vsco treatment over this for a throwback vibe. Remember when the retro edit was de riguer?

A year ago today, Zikr, published by @uhlangapress launched at @LoveBooksJozi

It's a dream with my name on it and pages that turn. I haven't written much since, but there's ore enough for a new collection. Until then, find copies of Zikr at: @exclusivebooks @lootcoza
@takealotcom @bridgebooks @LoveBooksJozi
@booklounge @clarkesbookshop

For readers outside of South Africa, get a copy via Amazon or www.africanbookscollective.com/books/zikr

Apart from tagging accounts in an image, I wish Instagram would allow for annotations. The matcha and notebook are just there for the colour story. If we're considering symbolics, the camera shutter box is for my visual approach to poetry, the photo badge represents visitations of memory and my late dad's SOS bracelet is a nod to how reading poetry, and writing it, is the way we find ways to survive those moments of utter despair.

I've eaten Uzbek manti a few times and I love the simple seasoning and meaty flavours. The Turkish version of manti is very similar, except each dumpling is made much smaller. I don't have the hand or time for it so I was happy to find a package of ready-to-cook Turkish manti (or Turkish ravioli as per the label) at @mantianatolianfood at the Nizamiye mosque complex in Midrand. I made a butter, tomato and yoghurt sauce to serve with it.

After a long, long time, I'm feeling this.

The promise of cherry plums.

I shot my annual Spring Has Sprung with the 85mm Zenit Helios 40-2 lens - a heavy piece of Russian glass celebrated for the bokeh it achieves at f/1.5.
The manual focus takes getting used to, the fringing is obvious and it's rather soft at its widest. But therein lies its charm and I understand why other photographers often refer to its "painterly" quality. I can't wait to use it for portraiture.

The Bolshoi Theatre before a performance of Swan Lake.
My 16-35mm lens was not wide enough to fit this whole scene in and I had to create this image by merging multiple exposures.
