What if one city felt like three?

Baku is medieval stone walls, narrow lanes and centuries-old traditions. Then, almost without warning, glass towers, futuristic architecture and the Caspian Sea appear around you.

It’s a city shaped by the Silk Road, oil wealth, Soviet history and an identity that is still evolving.

And then there’s the tiny book that measures just 0.75 × 0.75mm, a palace hidden inside the old city, a skyline that literally catches fire at night, and cats that seem to have been cast specifically for the streets of Baku.

Our latest Journal takes us to Azerbaijan.

Three Cities Called Baku by Louise Trotter — full feature online now at Here & There Series.

What if one city could hold three different worlds at once?

A medieval walled city.
A modern Caspian waterfront.
And a bold, contemporary Azerbaijan reaching toward the future.

In Baku, limestone walls catch the reflection of glass towers. Ancient tea houses sit alongside striking new architecture. The Flame Towers rise above a city shaped by Silk Road history, oil wealth, independence, and centuries of cultural exchange.

Photographer Louise Trotter wandered through all three—and found that the most interesting moments happen in between.

Read the full story, and wander Baku with us.

August is the final chapter of summer—a time for lingering evenings, slower mornings, and soaking in the last moments of the season.

Some photographs ask you to look. Others ask you to slow down.

In his latest feature for Here & There, photographer Steven Seidenberg explores the quiet spaces we often overlook—empty interiors, abandoned structures, and traces of lives once lived. Rather than documenting a place, his work invites us to question how we perceive it.

“One of the challenges is the creation of the tension that transports the viewer from the lethargy of normative perception into the novelty of focus.”

His images exist in that space between recognition and uncertainty, reminding us that the most compelling stories are often found in stillness.

Not every career in fashion begins with a carefully laid plan.

Raised in Oklahoma in what she describes as a “sports-heavy” household, stylist Chanti Walker didn’t always envision a future in the creative industry. It wasn’t until college—and a series of late-night episodes of The Rachel Zoe Project—that something clicked.

‘Wait… this is kinda lit,’ she laughs, recalling the moment fashion first captured her attention.

In our latest conversation, we talk about cross-country moves, unexpected beginnings, and the winding road that led her into fashion.
