Key ideas in this paper were shared at the Biennial Conference of IDEA, ‘The Future of Practical Ethics’, University of Leeds, last week. It is not meant to be a "heavy" read: it blends a bit of philosophy, with a bit of technology, with a bit of ... plain old me

Sad to hear of the passing of Nick Hedges, though pleased that Photo|Frome could exhibit his work in the festival in April. A photographic legend, and a compassionate human being.

The best part of Photo London - the ‘London Lives’ exhibition beautifully curated by Francis Hodgson. Sharp photographic observations across the years, fascinating stories and genuinely meaningful work. A fine contrast with other simply ‘decorative’ work in the art fair.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

Sometimes a happy place is good. Lecturing at University of Leeds today on ‘Ethics of AI’ in Visiting Prof role. Pleased with student response. Small, personal celebration in one of my fav places in town ‘Restaurant Bar & Grill’.

Olympus 35RC film camera placed on glass with reflection
Another suggestion for a good (vintage) camera to start enjoying film. The Olympus 35RC, with 42mm F/2.8 dates from 1970. There are successor cameras, with slightly better spec, but this is still lovely. The perfect compact.

The summit in London has begun.
European and NATO leaders have gathered to discuss the future of humanity and Ukraine, without the United States. This is the largest reconfiguration of nations since World War 2.

I hope that yours is still going strong!
Pentax KX film camera with 55mm F/1.8 lens, from 1976, on glass tabletop with reflection
I see lots of interest in how to choose a good (vintage) camera to start enjoying film. My Pentax KX, with 55mm F/1.8 dates from 1976, and I still love it. Looks great, handles superbly and takes even better photos!

I ran identical questions on ChatGPT and DeepSeek. Answers almost identical, maybe with an edge to DeepSeek when asked (ironically) about DEI programmes.

Very kind of you to look at my work and thank you for the positive comments. Means a lot to help get out the stories of the people that went through that terrible time.
