Stumbled across this image from back in 2020, I'd forgotten how good that little Panasonic Lumix TZ-80 could be at times, it shot RAW and you could set the viewfinder to B&W square format. I might have to get one again as an EDC! #classicmono #BlackAndWhitePhotography #bnw #b&w #photography

I've been shopping 😊 Spoke to the owner himself, still sharp as a tack at almost 90.

Rishan from my now cancelled Journeys project. She escaped religious persecution in Eritrea and travelled across the Sahara and through Libya aged only 15, eventually making it to Kent. She has now qualified as an NHS nurse to give something back to the country which gave her sanctuary.

Time for another one of my old London paintings. I completed this one on a crowded street and the main focus is St Martin-in-the-Fields but I also enjoyed dashing in the passing people with a few pen strokes. This went into an exhibition and sold immediately.

Took a punt on these old things, both shutter curtains are totally knackered, the Thornton Pickard sadly has the back missing plus it's ground glass. The Marion Soho might just be serviceable with some sort of shuttered lens. drinks can for scale #photography #filmphotography #photographersofbluesky

Yesterday I bought some trousers & last night I went to the Atlantic (the local disco). There was some nice blokes there, about 3 or 4 Punk blokes & lots of punk girls. My zip broke while I was pogoing & no one seemed to have any safety pins, even the punks.

David Bowie released his ‘Changes’ single on this day in 1972, taken from the album ‘Hunky Dory’.
Seen here is the French picture sleeve. It didn’t have one in the UK.
