The Travel Almanac These Chequered Hills 2025

Description

A split-frame editorial diptych photographed by Quentin De Briey for The Travel Almanac's project 'These Chequered Hills'. The left frame displays a stack of folded newspapers—including The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times—resting on an intricately carved wooden surface beside a rich, patterned oriental rug. The right frame presents an atmospheric, high-angle vista of the Los Angeles skyline enveloped in morning haze and smog, with dense palm tree canopies dotting the foreground. The warm, nostalgic analogue grade creates a reflective, cinematic study of urban atmosphere.
