There doesn’t seem to be a starter pack for UK-based press photographers and photojournalists so have started one just here. Drop me a line if you think you fit the bill and want to be added.

I just started watching the John Candy doc “I Like Me”, and was really shocked to see some godawful AI b-roll thrown in for no reason. Eeyooo… If only there was available footage of America in the 1950s.

There's a direct correlation between the world being unhappy and the introduction of angry-looking car headlights. All we see when we walk down the street is scowling cars with furious expressions. It's got to have an effect.

Jack Whitehall, Jimmy Carr and Omid Djalili are on the bill of the event.
Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

feels a bit weird that we keep having these stories about individual cyber attacks but without anyone really joining the dots and going "okay, shall we maybe talk about this as a major global story"

My first day out with the new Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 mkII. It’s already noticeably lighter and faster to focus, plus an all -internal zoom. Seems like a winner! #photography

British people, particularly middle class British people aged from 30 to 50, really, *really* need to stop reading so much American domestic politics news because it's in the only language they understand. It's mostly irrelevant and it's driving you mad.

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction
