Southsea, Portsmouth. A grand day out people watching, fish and chips and a cheeky pint in the sun. Marvellous.

There’s only one real person of Presidential honour in this picture. That person is President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.

The other is Russian sympathiser Captain Bone-spurs who dodged his own military duty when his country needed him, and is a disgrace to his own country and people.

Slava Ukraine. 🇺🇦

I got wet trainers for this…

As Valentines Day approaches, be careful of romance scams and fraud. A few days ago, I went on a raid with the City of London Police for ITV News, resulting in one scammers day being ruined…

A privilege to film with Felix last week. From catastrophic injury as a child, to World Champion. (Not long enough on video here, so Threads link.) www.threads.net/@ukcameraman...

Was tempted into a timelapse video from my hotel window whilst having a crafty vape.

My view tonight includes the BFI IMAX and the South Bank, London. 1 day with ITV done, another tomorrow.

Either the sun is setting, or it’s the great fire of old London town all over again. Meanwhile new London looks on and laughs whilst chewing on a fat cigar and sipping a fine Pinotage.

Travelling to London again for ITV News. Travel disruption on the line to London again, 3rd time in a row my train has been cancelled.

I would watch this. Or Rising Damp, but they’re all cannibalistic arty types, sharing the body of whoever rents room 101… Or Fawlty Towers where you can check out any time, but you can never leave..?

Any more..?
OK but what if we relaunch it only now - The Goodes are serial killers of Nazis that they use for compost!?

It’s been quite the day today filming wise, with a location some of you may recognise if you’ve ever been in the thick of it, and memories from long ago at Television Centre.

Thank you ITV News, for giving me some filming work in London tomorrow. I’m forever grateful that I won’t have to watch the orange shitgibbon get inaugurated.

Filming for BBC News today, using all the MoJo toys on one film… happiness is in gadget form.
January 16, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Have been full MoJo (using a iPhone 16 Pro Max mobile phone as the primary camera) so far this week, with visits to the BFI and elsewhere in London for ITV News.

More tomorrow with BBC. Trust me, after lugging huge pieces of kit for 28 years, my back and shoulders approve.

Well, f*ck. F*ckitty F*ck.

The view from my London club room tonight. Tidy. It’s a military hotel for members in case you were wondering, I’m not a member of the Garrick. Day 2 for ITV news tomorrow.
January 13, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Day 1 of 2 with ITV News. All trains to London Waterloo from the South cancelled. Yes, I’m inconvenienced for 2 or 3 hours, but the reason why is tragic.

If you’re lucky, you’re on this earth for maybe, what, 70, 80 years? Is it really too much to ask you to just leave other people alone and let them try to have a nice life without being be an absolute nob head about it?

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Observation: Went for a full English breakfast with Mrs ukcameraman this morning. Cafe was full of builders from our local sites, all ages, packed because everything’s frozen.

Not one newspaper. No Sun, Mirror, or Daily Heil. Not one.

Most were on mobile, mostly scrolling TikTok or FB. #Journalism
