Another, from the generation of photographers who were an inspiration to my ‘generation’, no longer with us…

I’d missed this news initially but was then chatting with a colleague about his work — maybe under appreciated, by comparison with others of his time?

I forgot about this being on iPlayer (and rewatching)! Got to be my age… don’t answer that!

I don’t usually cross posts from my other life (as an ML) but this seemed to cross boundaries nicely, being more photograph than ‘snap’…

With steep declines in wildlife continuing, none of us can afford for new laws to make this problem worse.

We urge the Government to look at the carefully considered changes we propose to the Planning Bill. Nature can thrive alongside development, but only with the right safeguards in place.

An afternoon visit to @impressions-gallery.com Bradford and Aïda Muluneh’s work The Necessity of Seeing, as part of Nationhood: Memory & Hope. It stood out, for all the right reasons…

Finally got round to seeing the M. Parr documentary and for any reservations I might have had, after a few reviews, I’ve got to admit it was engaging, entertaining; there could have been a broader critique but I can reflect on that myself. Worth a look…

I was hoping for a bit more of a critique, or at least some local voices, but it’s more, solely, a PR piece than anything else, which is a shame (content, not journalism?)…

The government’s £270m Arts Everywhere Fund is a welcome investment—but just 1.2% is for cultural education. At a time when access to arts education is declining, this represents a significant missed opportunity.
