First post from my #abstract studio session, taking inspiration from the work of Francis Bruguière, amongst others. Shot on #4x5 with a vintage Wray Lustrar 184mm 4.5 almost wide open (f5.6).

The UK government was just defeated in the House of Lords for a *fifth* time over AI training data transparency.

Please watch the electrifying end to Baroness Kidron's closing speech ahead of the vote. Creators have no greater champion.

Made #cyanotype prints from inkjet negatives today. The hot pressed #watercolor paper seems to benefit from two coats of emulsion.
