Whoa, Tammy Tammy!

Aston Villa 4 Sunderland 3. What a fuckin ridiculous wonderful horror show. The noise after Tammy’s winner was astonishing, I got cramp bouncing down the concourse, I’m dead and I feel bloody amazing! I love my club, Aston Villa!

Hard boiled eggs

Chilling in the fan zone at Villa Park today. Up. The. Villa!

Mitoma with another absolute worldie, showing again why he’s my favourite non-Villa player 😎

But also, a sign of good luck! Thank you for taking one for the team 🤪🤪🤪🤪

Wooooooooo! Ollie you beauty!

I love this version of Buendia, proper Scrappy Doo

Ollliiieeeeeeee!

Rowe’s definitely putting himself in the Villa shop window

Come on you Lions! Up the Villa!

Villa & an OG Star Wars landspeeder, excellent 👌🏻

Thank you so much, I will 📸 ✌🏻😁

March vignettes.

Four images taken around Birmingham over the last month. I’ve struggled for energy and inspiration this year, but I plod on indomitably, trying to be positive & productive 📸🙏🏻🙂

I know your eyes are green but they don’t usually have that radioactive glow… 🙀

I saw a woman have a terrible fall in the City. She fell face first into the road & visibly hurt her jaw.
After a small group of people helped her up, they all left.
I couldn’t believe it. She was visibly hurt & confused, so I stayed & got her help.
Empathy for your fellow humans costs nothing 🙏🏻

How much did we need that goal?!? Fantastic stuff by Amadou Onana and a great poacher’s finish by Ollie! Up the Villa!

A demolition contract methinks

Oh John McGinn, you beauty!

This is what you do to shield ya kids from prying eyes on the beach when they’re getting changed, ffs! 🤦

Thank you so much Rob 🤓🙏🏻

He owes himself and his team a big performance after what happened last season at Old Trafford 👊

Letting the Light do the work.

Four images taken on the same spot, looking in different directions or focusing in different places. The light, around Snow Hill Plaza in Birmingham, was just lovely. Sometimes it just does the work for you 🤓📸

Watching the Villa game with the commentary muted is highly recommended. Not having to listen to Martin “The Mekon” Keown literally contradict reality is nothing short of bliss 🤓

Umbrella novella (ii)

From Matisse to Magritte, Mary Poppins to Kingsman, the umbrella’s iconic silhouette permeates our art & culture.

So I’m not alone in this umbrella obsession. I enjoy how its theatrical shape interacts with people as they walk the city streets, come rain or shine ☔️😊📸

Umbrella novella (i)

During one of the recent rainy days, I was going through folders of my photos, doing a bit of file tidying & organising.
I noticed (with no small irony!) that I have a propensity for snapping people using umbrellas ☔️ around the City
