Well, thank goodness!

Thanks, ‘Have I Got News For You’ for displaying my recent picture just now from the Archbishop’s enthronement in Canterbury - although, because I was leaping from my seat, I didnt catch their caption.

Spring tulips, south London. The shed however leans more and more every year.

A terrfic end to this edition of Front Row with fellow-space geek @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social in conversation about literature and music in orbit with Helen Sharman and #NASA veteran astronaut, Cady Coleman www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Hoping we also hear words and sounds on #Artemis this week.

When the printer says, ‘no I won’t print your pathetic colour red’ and its nozzles agree, there’s only one thing to do and that’s run away from the problem and head out to the nearest hill for a gale forced coffee 💨☕️

Tinnitus, yes. Red Arrows, tick. RAF career? Erm - no.

All good retailers etc.

More rain in London, this afternoon.

USS Harry Truman, Persian Gulf, 2000. The US Navy allowed me to photograph an aircraft carrier for 3 days but after 24hrs we were flown off so although I’d already shot enough for two issues of the commissioning magazine, it didn’t feel I’d justified the months of negotiation to get me on-board.

It'll be ten years since the community occupation of Herne Hill's Carnegie Library, a local story which became an international newspiece - and which I photographed throughout (see picture below of mine in the Observer last year). The issues of closing the libraries seemingly as relevant today.

But with the likely complication of a blackmail charge? #TheArchers

London, 19th January.

*Defacated, you mean.

My favourite ten pictures of 2025. A few are just one-offs and sometimes from a sequence of many and others are the result of much work. In any case, they’re in places I know well but as Saul Leiter said: ‘Mysterious things happen in familiar places’.

I’m hiring a reporter for London Centric, looking for someone smart who can use a phone, knock on doors and wants to cause trouble. Don’t care if you’ve got qualifications, just want evidence of caring about news. Initial six month contract, pay above national rates. www.londoncentric.media/p/jobs

Well I didn’t see that coming this afternoon: a listen to medieval Christmas carols on Radio 3.

@nynzi.bsky.social Not able to log-in to @longwaverer.bsky.social feels like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar, helplessly peering through the timeslip bookcase where #TheArchers buddies are causing mayhem in the real world.

Rest assured I'm listening/reading to you all, so no naughty business.

Butlins alumnus here too - and pleased you got the opportunity to thank Paul with a print. I’m sure he was very touched by that lovely gesture.

In 2019 I posted a letter of thanks and a print to my old photography tutor Paul Lowe.

He's been gone a year now.

Ah yes, I do now. Imagining what would happen when the big DQ occurred.

Not really. What was said?

More than 400 ‘horseless’ veteran cars left Hyde Park and drove through south London en-route to Brighton, including the 1904 Stanley Stream driven by ex-RAF fighter pilot and Wing Commander, Andy Green who also happens to still hold the world land speed record, which broke down and was retired.
