Is #twotonetuesday a thing? 5000 uses of the hashtag says it is. That’s all the excuse I need for “More Specials”.

Architectural abstract photographs taken in Birmingham showing details of the Holiday Inn exterior and a car park stairwell near the Broadway Plaza. Both appear to be black and white but are actually full colour photographs. Both photographs in the diptych have watermarks with the initial AO in them.

“Love music, hate racism. It’s not enough. Love music, fight racism. You have to fight it.”
It's an all black & white #TwoToneTuesday today. #Remembering Terence Edward Hall (19 March 1959 – 19 December 2022). A unique figure of my generation.
