Four arrested on “suspicion of malicious communication”. Meaning of course that the government thinks for you and you have to obey or be arrested. Such is the state of things in this country.

Here we go. This was of course the aim all along, to stop people from saying anything against the genocide and Apartheid happening in Gaza. Disgraceful. I will never again give my vote to Labour.

Interesting retrospective exhibition of Edward Burra in Tate Britain. His landscapes have an other-worldly aspect that makes me want to be walking on that land. #art

Ed Adkin’s exhibition at the Tate Britain in London is one of the best I’ve seen in some time.
The problem with it is that there are so many ideas and emotions contained there, that you need to visit it a few times.

Stop the gravy train! Labour is taking rail franchises in the UK into public hands - but the trains themselves are still privately owned. Train-owning firms took £3.6 billion dividends in the last decade. Take 1-min to tell the govt to stop the gravy train: weownit.org.uk/act-now/grea...
Demand the government reinstate Great British Railway’s public interest duty - respond to the consultation | We Own It
The government's plans to scrap our rail's duty to be accessible and environmentally responsible must be stopped.

More images taken last weekend for the series on parks on London suburbs. This one is in Bethnal Green, so arguably not quite the suburbs. Same Welta 6x6 camera and still looking for those atemporal images portraying, hopefully, the sense of spaces away from the capitalist race-to-nowhere outside.

The Photographers Gallery, London: new work of Cristina de Middel follows on her previous work, but it also feels fresh. It documenta the Mexican communities alongside the US border. It manages to avoid falling into the known stories around it, while still touching on those stories of emigration.

I’m in the Photographers Gallery, London, mainly to see Peter Mitchell’s exhibition. I love it. I specially for the little stories he tells in the wall cards accompanying each picture. But then, I went to the shop to buy the catalog and … it doesn’t include those captions !!!??? Why!?

I’ve just bought a copy. In Spain we (still) have many successful cooperatives, especially in agriculture. These ways of organising work would solve so many current problems!

I capture in these images not what I see but what I don’t: the closed spaces of others, light emanating from lives I am not part of, but I wish I could peek at for a moment. Instead, I take a picture discretely and move on. The imagined world on the other side of the window accompanies me, briefly
