Like other professional #photojournalists & video #journalists we think it’s vital that the public believe the news we shoot & know when we post a picture that it’s real & not AI. We agree with photojournalist Neil Turner that a #realphoto tag is a great idea wp.me/pH2yx-2Cc

In the fight back against #AI generated content confusing people. Professional photographers and photojournalists are hoping real photographers start using the hashtag #realphoto to show that images are genuine photographs taken by a camera camera 📷 and not digitally generated 🙂

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

One of my favourite things in headlines are where you can see the muscle memory of legal training being applied to animals, buildings, train lines.
This headline reads like the BBC is terrified of being sued for libel by the rhino.

It’s hard to draw any other conclusion than that Israel is killing local Gaza journalists that reveal images of the genocide that is being committed. This video journalist they killed yesterday was one of those who captured footage of people burning in Nuseirat refugee camp after Israel’s attack.
21 days ago we posted recognising the work of photo and video journalists who shot images of Israel’s bombs burning people alive in Nuseirat in #Gaza. Yesterday Omar Aldirawi was killed in an Israeli airstrike. They also killed journalist Hassan Al-Qishaoui targeting him with a drone strike.

I hope that 2025 will bring peace and calm across the world. If we think of the most vulnerable people in society and treat everyone with kindness and respect, friends and strangers alike, then perhaps this year will be a kinder and gentler one.

I have always loved public libraries, but having young children has exponentially increased my gratitude and sense of indebtedness to them. Our local library is such a huge part of our lives. The books, the programming, the very intentionally curated kids’ section. It’s all such a gift.

Boxing Day remains the biggest day of the year for the fox hunting community.
