Life class sketches
Dropped into Cass Art Manchester yesterday to see a friend’s sketches; Len’s more known, in recent times, for his urban sketches but for me the wall of drawings made during a life class were the stars of the show…

Remembering Chris Steele-Perkins (1947–2025) | Magnum Photos Magnum Photos
Another, from the generation of photographers who were an inspiration to my ‘generation’, no longer with us…
I’d missed this news initially but was then chatting with a colleague about his work — maybe under appreciated, by comparison with others of his time?

Thanks Millie, I’ve donated to the darkroom in the past, so probably not looking to buy, just sharing… hope it goes well (any old iron is just a turn of phrase, not a judgement)…

A close-up of a frog, its body submerged in water and its head above the surface. Frogspawn can be seen below, it's a sunny day.
With steep declines in wildlife continuing, none of us can afford for new laws to make this problem worse.
We urge the Government to look at the carefully considered changes we propose to the Planning Bill. Nature can thrive alongside development, but only with the right safeguards in place.

An afternoon visit to @impressions-gallery.com Bradford and Aïda Muluneh’s work The Necessity of Seeing, as part of Nationhood: Memory & Hope. It stood out, for all the right reasons…

…my favourite quote had to come from Grayson and not to do with Parr’s work but the ‘establishment’ as he saw:
Oh “photography suffers with it greatly… academe”

I Am Martin Parr | Showtimes and Tickets
Since the 1970s, Martin Parr has held up a sometimes tender, sometimes critical and always mischievous mirror to our times. Through this intimate road trip across England, discover the men who revolut...
Finally got round to seeing the M. Parr documentary and for any reservations I might have had, after a few reviews, I’ve got to admit it was engaging, entertaining; there could have been a broader critique but I can reflect on that myself. Worth a look…
