  Systems with competing attractive and repulsive interactions have a tendency
to condense into droplets. This is the case for water in a sink, liquid helium
and dipolar atomic gases. Here, we consider a photon fluid which is formed in
the transverse plane of a monochromatic laser beam propagating in an attractive
(focusing) nonlocal nonlinear medium. In this setting we demonstrate the
formation of the optical analogue of matter wave droplets, and study their
properties. The system we consider admits droplets that carry orbital angular
momentum. We find bound states possessing liquid-like properties, such as bulk
pressure and compressibility. Interestingly, these droplets of light, as
opposed to optical vortices, form due to the competition between long-range
s-wave (monopole) and d-wave (quadrupole) interactions as well as diffraction.
