I lived in London for a few years, in the W11 pocket between Notting Hill and Bayswater. At some point I started taking photos on panorama mode and deliberately not doing it properly — moving too fast in parts, dipping the phone mid-sweep, pausing for a second. What came back were images that looked more like how the city felt than how it looked.
One from Barcelona too. The narrow alleys in the Gothic Quarter compress like this naturally — the panorama just makes it official.
