From my Horse series.
A black and white photograph of a grey (white) horse - it is a foggy morning with dark skies - the horse is facing sideways and his head is to the left of the image - he has his head lifted with one ear back and one slightly forward. A black and white photography of a grey horse. The photo has been taken from ground height and the horse feels statuesque with the sky behind.

Test: Woodland in monochrome, seen across the valley filled with mist. #photography #monochrome
A woodland in monochrome, seen across a valley filled with mist. The woodland seems to float in mid air between the grey mist and the grey sky.

From a demo. People viewed from behind, only the tops of their heads in frame. A brick built municiple building in the background. A union flag is partly shown on the extreme left in the distance. Immediately in front of the camera to the right, a woman with blonde hair holds up a sign saying "hate yachts not dinghies".

From the demo in Bristol on Sunday.
Far right faction on a demo march. In the foregroung the backs of a single policeman on each side nearest to the camera, In the middle distance demonstrators marching with banners and flags, viewed from the rear. Beyond the demonstrators pink smoke has almost completely obscured the scene, an array of flags barely visible through the melee.

A statement from our councillors:
Bristol's Green Party Councillors Stand Against Racism Bristol is a proud city of sanctuary - a city where people of every background can find safety, belonging and hope. We utterly reject those who seek to spread hate or division through violence or intimidation. In recent weeks we have seen a worrying rise in online abuse spilling onto our streets. As Green councillors across Bristol we stand together, disgusted by these acts and united in saying clearly: "Racism and all forms of hate have no home in our city." Bristol will remain a welcoming, safe and inclusive place for everyone. ClIr Lorraine Francis, Clir Abdul Malik, ClIr Mohamed Makawi, ClIr Sibusiso shabalala and ClIr Yassin Mohamud on behalf of All Bristol Green Party Councillors.

Gears at an abandoned water mill.
Lit by sunlight in the centre is a small metal toothed gear wheel. It orange with rust on the teeth and shows a darker colour elsewhere. In shadow to the left is a small section of a much larger gear, and to the right, also in shadow is part of the stone structure of the mill.

London, January 2016.
A nice indication of how things change.
On Horseguards Parade, centered amidst monumental masonry, an elderly man creates an artwork on an easel, whilst behind him and slightly to the left a younger man takes a photograph of the same view using a smartphone.

“I cannot say it in strong enough terms that anyone who thinks our national flag should be a symbol for exclusion and hatred fundamentally misunderstands both this country’s, and this city’s, culture and heritage, and the heritage of the flag itself.”

Very moving and beautifully expressed piece by Tony Dyer, Leader of Bristol City Council. In a febrile and polarised world, this so badly needed to be said and Tony does so with wisdom, grace and kindness. news.bristol.gov.uk/press-releas...

'We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.'

Starmer jumps on a bandwagon driven by scumbags and racists.

I’m so tired of dog whistle politics.

This garbage should have ended long ago.

Celebrate immigrants. They benefit our culture, economy and health.

In monochrome. A couple kiss under the bridge of Sighs in the middle distance as a person closer to the camera pictures them on a phone. More people pass beyond them, unaware of the scene.

Budapest; 6th October 2015.
In old Budapest. A dark night the door of a corner shop shines white in contrast to the deep black, lit by what little light is available. Just to the side of the door a dark person is only noticed because of the light from their phone reflecting in their face.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

Million Women Rise march : London 2016.
The black-and-white photo captures a group of people standing outdoors at the million women rise protest. The central figure is a woman holding a drink with a straw, wearing a scarf and a coat. Her expression is thoughtful or contemplative. To her right are two men, one wearing glasses and the other a cap, both engaged in conversation. In the background, there are signs held by other people. The overall mood conveys a sense of quiet focus amidst a bustling crowd.

Forgotten Valentine.
The image shows a single pink rose wrapped in clear plastic leaning against a textured stone wall. Beside the rose, there is a tall, narrow bush with dark green foliage. The wall has a rustic appearance with various shades of grey and brown stones. In the foreground, there are some small, low-growing plants with pale green and yellow leaves, adding to the natural setting. The overall atmosphere is serene and contemplative.
