It seems like only yesterday that LIFELINES was out in hardback but with the first signs of spring appearing here in northern Greece it means the paperback is already on its way. And Waterstones is offering 25% off from today until Friday for online pre-orders!

Years ago, I published a photoblog. The premise was simple: a photo a day with some links to see more of that artist’s work. Instagram changed everything, so I’m trying something new. No algorithms, no ads. Just a picture to start your week. Enjoy!

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to read my blog and for all of your wonderful, engaging comments. I have really enjoyed it and am so grateful to you all.🖤
I have just written a blog about my approach to photographing my Horse series. If you have the time, I would really appreciate you stopping by.
I have had a few technical problems with sentences going for a walk but hopefully it will be ok.

A glimpse into Ramsey & Muspratt's Cambridge studio. In the 1930s Lettice Ramsey & Helen Muspratt photographed John Maynard Keynes, Guy Burgess, Dorothy Hodgkin, Donald Maclean, Joan Robinson, Julian Bell and many others here.
Been reminding myself of the many photographers who used the Post Office Terrace studio in Cambridge, including the 1930s pair of women Lettice Ramsey and Helen Muspratt. I'm doing a talk about the studio in Huntingdon in May. See www.library.live/calendar/loc... for more info

THE BREAKFAST CLUB was released 41 years ago today. The story of five high school students in detention became a classic of the teen genre, as well as 1980s Hollywood in general. The tale behind any John Hughes film is pretty bizarre, some are just better at hiding it…

I’m re filing negatives from 1985 and found some that were clearly not fixed properly- a minute in some fresh fixer and they cleared nicely - after all these years…..

Heard the first curlew this morning & a mass of lapwings this afternoon. It’s probably the earliest return I’ve known on the Pennines but it’s so beautiful to see & hear them again.
