More rain in London, this afternoon.
USS Harry Truman, Persian Gulf, 2000. The US Navy allowed me to photograph an aircraft carrier for 3 days but after 24hrs we were flown off so although I’d already shot enough for two issues of the commissioning magazine, it didn’t feel I’d justified the months of negotiation to get me on-board.
It'll be ten years since the community occupation of Herne Hill's Carnegie Library, a local story which became an international newspiece - and which I photographed throughout (see picture below of mine in the Observer last year). The issues of closing the libraries seemingly as relevant today.
But with the likely complication of a blackmail charge? #TheArchers

London, 19th January.
*Defacated, you mean.
My favourite ten pictures of 2025. A few are just one-offs and sometimes from a sequence of many and others are the result of much work. In any case, they’re in places I know well but as Saul Leiter said: ‘Mysterious things happen in familiar places’.

I’m hiring a reporter for London Centric, looking for someone smart who can use a phone, knock on doors and wants to cause trouble. Don’t care if you’ve got qualifications, just want evidence of caring about news. Initial six month contract, pay above national rates. www.londoncentric.media/p/jobs
Well I didn’t see that coming this afternoon: a listen to medieval Christmas carols on Radio 3.
@nynzi.bsky.social Not able to log-in to @longwaverer.bsky.social feels like Matthew McConaughey in Interstellar, helplessly peering through the timeslip bookcase where #TheArchers buddies are causing mayhem in the real world.
Rest assured I'm listening/reading to you all, so no naughty business.

Butlins alumnus here too - and pleased you got the opportunity to thank Paul with a print. I’m sure he was very touched by that lovely gesture.
In 2019 I posted a letter of thanks and a print to my old photography tutor Paul Lowe.
He's been gone a year now.
Trying to reconcile how a ‘cargo plane’ could possibly fly 8hrs to Hawaii with anything other than ‘tens of thousands of litres of fuel’ (BBC News headline) #Aviation #AvGeek #Louisville #UPS

Ah yes, I do now. Imagining what would happen when the big DQ occurred.
Not really. What was said?
More than 400 ‘horseless’ veteran cars left Hyde Park and drove through south London en-route to Brighton, including the 1904 Stanley Stream driven by ex-RAF fighter pilot and Wing Commander, Andy Green who also happens to still hold the world land speed record, which broke down and was retired.
We won't ever see AMW in a line-up like this again.
Queen's death, 2022.
Hope it’s sharp!

*It was not on the beach.
I walked and photographed on the beach experimental pedestrianised Oxford Street this afternoon - then came across a surprise, a familiar picture I made in 1990.
Football boots, with me. The first time the studs sank into the grass and kicked a ball!
They’re simply tools to be used and abused, I find.
It’s the same brand body as the others so I can load the settings via the card into the new one. Saves days of what you’ve described.
Anyone else still get that tingly feeling when a new camera body is on its way?
Much like when it was one more sleep until we could go to the toy shop and buy my Action Man.
Steady as she goes, Rob.
