Warm summer day how I miss thee. Filming in Notting Hill, London, during a glorious heat wave last August.
Been one of those kinda days, this photograph I got at lunch time on South Bank says it all, reflective. Hug everyone you love tight. Smile more than frown.

It was a grey winter afternoon and I’d been walking along Southbank with the intention of finding something to photograph. It was getting dark so I pointed my way towards Waterloo and a tube home, I loitered for a moment, and this image happened in front of me...

These guys are queuing up to sell anything they can to the new boys. It’s such a sham. The nattering of the elites choosing who to side with: obviously anyone with piles of cash. And of course aired through the most morally vacant newspaper you can find.
The Daily Mail has never been pro-British- it has always been pro-fascist.
The Daily Mail is owned by the 4th Viscount Rothermere, passed on from 3rd, 2nd & 1st Viscounts. It’s been a tool of hereditary power & privilege undermining our democracy.
Musk & Trump excite them to take their mask off.

And so we move into the next phase of reality’s Squid Game: the end of fact-checking. From now on, what happened, what you think happened, and what you wanted to have happened, are all of equal value.

A few streets down from the famous Pudding Lane where the Great Fire began in 1666 you come across a narrow cobbled street called Lovat Lane. It descends steeply down towards the Thames and the old market building of Billingsgate...

Beautiful thank you @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social
Trundling northwards through the Fens on a train: black earth glistening with ice, frost between the beet-stalks, smoke from a fire in the horizon—and a hundred or so swans settled like snowdrifts on a great green field.

2024 work wise has been a mixture of ups and downs. Been great to work alongside some dear friends and long term collaborators this year. Film has been quieter than other years but still has ticked over and been great to work on a variety of shoots in some interesting places with some lovely people.

I do love to sit at the front of a bus, always gives you such a wonderful view of the city going by, and on a day like this, gives you an appreciation of blue sky and light, a greater definition of colour

Such an interesting and truthful observation. Have a read. When is enough enough?
I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.
