6am in the City
Sometimes I can’t sleep, so I’ll go walking to tire myself out. On this occasion I walked as far as the City just before dawn as the early mists were rising.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Digbeth before dawn
A view across the Custard Factory towards the omnipresent cranes and evolving lift shifts of the Digbeth skyline. The early morning fog rolling in across Bordesley adds a Blade Runner quality that I really enjoy photographing 🤩

Villa fans, we’ve been blessed of late, winning games in swashbuckling fashion. Today, a resolute Brentford side done us over. Villa have come so far under Unai Emery & clubs want to beat us. Despite the terrific atmosphere & banter, a sucker punch goal & VAR controversy sank us.

Made in Sheffield.
My eldest son Owen lives near Sheffield, so earlier this week I went up for a visit, just as Storm Chandra came to town 🌧️☔️
Despite the endless rain we had a bonny time. Sheffield’s a cool place with lots of interesting places to enjoy & explore 😃

Villa beating Newcastle away from home! Emi with a screamer, Ollie with a beautiful header, I’m in my happy place 🤩😀
Despite all the injuries & players not in great form, Unai Emery performs yet more tactical & coaching miracles to inspire Aston Villa. We bloody love it!

Hip to be Square
4 pix from a walk around Brum. I’ve been enjoying shooting with Hipstamatic’s Tintype camera. It mimics an old form of photography that was commonly used in portraiture. It renders soft, uniquely lo-fi images that I really rather love 📸😀

When I'm walking around the City after dark I love finding people lit up by neon signs. Neon evokes that cinematic feeling of bygone movies. So, have a bit of neon for my image of the day 🤩

Blind date.
My photo of the day is from one of my favourite haunts. Conditions have to be right, good light and, most importantly, it needs to be cold. The resulting condensation on the windows transforms the scene into a mysterious impressionistic vignette 😊

Under the Skin.
My photo for today is part of an ongoing project that is also a bit of an obsession. The project is called 'Surface Tension' and it stems from my obsession with making images using glass & reflective surfaces. Broken windows are a particular fractured fascination 🤩

Red Head
Today's image is a favourite of mine, shot in Birmingham, December 2025.
I enjoy this image because it's something I envisioned within this scene, around that red light.
When I look at this photo, I'm reminded of the importance of patience & creative experimentation 😃

"Let's Rock!"
Today's 'l'image du jour' is a double exposure that I made last year. Using a silhouetted figure is quite a good way of lending negative space for the second image to nestle within, allowing you to make sense of what you're seeing...😀

The Morning after the Storm.
At my local, Manor Farm Park here in Brum, there's a lovely hill that's ideal for sledging. My kids loved coming here when they were little & it was great to see the snow-laden slope full of happy families this morning 🤩

Demolishing history.

Westhill & Selly Oak colleges were once an internationally significant campus of multi-faith colleges.

Four images that sum up the direction of my photography this year. A friend told me recently that he was inspired by my drive to play & experiment creatively, which I was so grateful to hear 🙏🏻 😍

Bob likes his spot on the window sill by the radiator. He is warm & he can dozily watch the world go by.
Until now.
Bob woke from a vivid dream & realised he's an octopus.
After much befuddlement, Bob tucked in his new tentacles, harumphed at his humans & went back to sleep 🐙

Southside Fog
I like to walk the city when it's foggy. Familiar streets are rendered strange. And then there's the magical moment when the sun starts to burn through. Sometimes it's mere moments, longer if conditions are right, but the fog starts to glow, golden like the sun 🌞

Night walking 🚶🏼♂️
Feeling chuffed today after leading my first night street photo workshop yesterday. Although I was nervous, it was a gratifying experience to lend advice & support to like minded creatives. I'm so happy that everyone enjoyed the evening.
Might have to do more in the New Year 😊

Emi Buendia's winning goal - I think I've seen every available angle of his fabulous finish & ensuing LIMBS (at least 50 times over), except for the view from inside his head & the view from the International Space Station..... checking Nasa feeds now 🤣
