“I’m not just taking photos for fine arts—I’m producing content that speaks to South African visual history and to a group of people who, simply because of how they express themselves, won’t be counted in history...”

I agree. If you’re in London Town do yourself a favour and go see Gordon Parks: We Shall Not Be Moved at the Alison Jacques Gallery on Cork Street.
Early stroll. Birdsong meets treesilence. A shadow sits in the bus shelter. A glove on the betting shop windowsill. Someone stands in a doorway staring at a laptop screen. Walking as opera, footsteps as aria.

It was as if I was standing on Holy Ground.

Early stroll. Drizzle gently baptises my face. The horizon’s hesitant smile. A gathering of plant pots by a side door. Number plates as lyrics, engine sounds as music. A man crosses the road at the speed of hi-vis light.

Instant follow too. Much of my reading has been concerned with John Muir. I will remedy this.
Until I started reading Tyler Green, I had no idea that most of the things I thought I knew about Yosemite were myths — "pristine," "untouched" — that white people created to erase the thousands of years that Native American communities lived there.

Early stroll. The made-to-measure sky. A possibility of loitering mist. Historic sites of former puddles. The bus passes slowly, like time sometimes does. A security light blink, blinks again, then stays awake.

“A portrait of Ella Watson, the part-time cleaner in the nation’s capital as she raised her grandchildren alone in poverty. Watson’s father had been murdered by a lynch mob and her husband was shot dead two days before the birth of their second daughter.”

Early stroll. String tied around a streetlight. A pile of twigs like a fascinator museum. The simple beauty of a bus shelter. A yellow and green toy supermarket trolley in a garden. That fence is wearing a discarded jacket.

Beguiling work as always Deborah!🖤
Back from various photo and film shoots and I am now starting the process of packing up and shipping over 100 copies of my new zine ‘On the road’.
It’s going to take a few days but I aim to have them all in the post by the end of the week.

Early stroll. My slowly disappearing apple. The gate of the empty house has swung open. Birdsong is morning’s ringtone. Light’s bottle is slowly opening. I measure out my life in strolls.

Early stroll. The availability of birdsong. One day I’ll sit and count all those fallen leaves. Morning is opening across the sky. Curtained light from a bedroom window. A green watering can, almost invisible in a garden.
Rock n roll we are!🖤
Always Jon

Ah, yes. I'm making the most of him being around for a bit. H is at Uni. I've just celebrated 9 years sober so he has the pint and I go wild with a sparkling water! 😘🖤
Thank you Deborah! I was playing around with light and composition yesterday with him. I'm lucky both my two don't mind sitting for me too much. I did buy him a beer - small price to pay!😘🖤
