I am now able to do museum quality prints up to A3+ folks! All your faves!

Posh Hahnemuhle paper that will last 200 years or something in the right conditions.

Let me know if there's anything you fancy.

Chicken. 📷
A big metal box of a building with the word CHICKEN on its side in chunky sans serif letters. In bright sunlight, they're casting a big drop shadow.

Feels great to finally join the lineage of artists that have answered the calling of Dungeness; amongst them John Piper, Eric Ravilious and most famously Derek Jarman

I’m doing a fair amount of cycling. But photography takes over when passing seductive new topographics! My phone is always to hand.

Is entertainment in the 2020s going to just involve spending a small fortune to attend immersive experiences for things which don't need to be immersive?

And which most of the time aren't even immersive?

Whilst not a fan of plastics, these 1963 adverts for Plexiglass are fascinating, and only 18 years after the end of WWII.
It's hard to appreciate how modern they were at the time.
Roof level facade panels of white plexiglass Turquoise coloured geometric facade panels of plexiglass, arranged somewhat like a Rubic's cube A man in a suit holding a plexiglass panel, to emphasise how lightweight they are, and a Shopfront of illuminated plexiglass with Parke-Davis written on it

Redruth
Colour photograph of a green landscape, with a scaffold structure in centre frame. Rags of an old billboard hang off it. Square format colour photograph of a narrow side street in Redruth. Looking slightly uphill. The sky is blue, and the houses are painted white, with one covered in pebbledash and another built of granite. To the right is a dirty wall, green with moss and grime. Sunlight reflects into the road off a window.

Some experiments.
Cliff landscape with accompanying text which reads 'I had 36 stitches in my face and neck, lost all my front teeth, a collar bone, and eight ribs crushed.' Cliff landscape with ruin with accompanying text which reads 'At about 1 o'clock, the candles were all blown out by a rush of wind.' Cliff landscape with ruin, with accompanying text which reads 'some of the men were projected down the shaft, others were crushed or injured by the falling debris.'

This is really sad. Sebastìão was one of the first photographers I came across that really got me into it. Genesis remains one of the seminal bodies of photography of our time.

Long may his work, photographically and environmentally, continue to inspire us.

Genuine question: how does Portrait of Britain continue to remain relevant when the work seems so similar every year? It's becoming like Taylor Wessing.
