My latest A5 zine is about Elizabeth Fritsch, ceramicist, in her home working on her pots in 1977. View/buy it here: bit.ly/BuyWalmsleyZ...
Liz has a major retrospective at Hepworth Wakefield until Jan 2026. Absolutely recommended.

Be inspired. Be very inspired.
To Margate to see the brilliant exhibition “Resistance: How Protest Shaped Britain and Photography Shaped Protest” at @turnercontemporary — it’s a terrific show, documenting a century of direct action, from the suffragettes in 1903 to anti-Iraq-invasion protests in 2003. More details on IG.

Is ‘Leeds Photography’ trending? “Back to Back” is an excellent new book by photographer @rickyadam.bsky.social documenting the city from 2003 on, while the “Pete Mitchell: Nothing Lasts Forever” retrospective at The Photographers Gallery (London) covers the 1970s/80s. Both highly recommended.

Great podcast this week in which @unofphoto.bsky.social and @billshapiro.bsky.social discuss the good, the bad and the pointless of social media for photographers — what works, what doesn’t, and what’s worth considering next (they’re looking at you @fotoapp.co)

Spending all day teaching fashion students with 2-inch nail extensions how to resize an image in InDesign is both hilarious and utterly exhausting.

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.
I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

One of the most highly anticipated photography exhibitions this spring is “The Face Magazine: Culture Shift,” which just opened at London’s National Portrait Gallery. I visited today with some students — I have many thoughts, natch, but is there anything you’d like to know about it, Blueskyers?

Her goal was not just documentary photography but a subjective interpretation of the world, conveying the spirit of the time and a timeless message.
