Monochrome Monday
Walking to the local shops on the estate with flats above. I could have taken this photo at any moment in the last 40 years and it would have always looked like this.

The Tour de France Grand Départ 2007, winding its way through London and Kent. A Nikon FE and a roll of black and white film.

My first attempt at The Pleiades. Pretty pleased considering there was a full moon. Fingers crossed for clear skies on dark nights so I can capture more data.

NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.
But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

To accompany the reel (see earlier post) – The Adventures of Raffi Musiker, John Wick style. I think Michelle Hurd would approve.

There’s something extra meaningful when the people you admire on screen are just as powerful off screen.
Michelle Hurd gave us something truly special in her portrayal of Raffi Musiker, and she continues to show what it looks like to be a warrior in the real world too.
Happiest of birthdays! 🥳💫🖖

Happy, happy birthday to the extraordinary Michelle Hurd! Actress, activist, icon!
This song has been stuck in my head since the Red Roses walked out to it at Twickenham so obviously I had to do something with it, and It fits Raffi’s energy. A comment from Michelle in Manchester gave it direction.

I’ve still got no idea how I managed to keep the Peregrine Falcon in focus as it came in for the lure. I love the movement in the image. Just one of the moments where everything fell into place.

Still stuck on this character, so much so I even created a teaser trailer! Michelle would be SO good in the Star Wars universe!
