Derby Day - a group of Sunderland fans walked up through Gallowgate. It's if they'd broken away from the main police escort or if they'd just arrived on the Metro; either way, they were on their own, with no police protection, in the middle of thousands of extremely hostile Newcastle supporters.

I've never been to a public execution before, but Newcastle 'welcoming' the Sunderland fans when they arrived at St James was exactly how I'd imagine one to be like.

I just camera better than I can conga...🤣

One of the most useful promotional tools I've used over the past year - I’m often asked about ‘what kind of photography’ I do. Whipping your phone out is fine, but I always think a physical copy is nice to hand out, so I had these made…sort of a multi layer business card.

I've started making these little cuties today - 9x6cm, 30 images, Mini tape bound books; a very limited edition and a rare splash of colour from Japan. 🇯🇵

Yesterday, I said goodbye to a good friend. Godspeed, Dennis. 🚀

East Coast of Japan, south of Fukushima - the outgoing tide had left a very fine covering of black silt and fine seaweed. A passing vehicle exposed the white sand underneath, leaving a snaking trail away in to the distance.

I’ve had an incredibly busy week putting together my handmade books, ‘Holmtown’. These from my latest batch are off to collectors in the US, Canada, Germany and Japan. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇩🇪🇯🇵

“Holmtown’, my handmade book has been the end result of a lot of experimentation, but it got there. It’ll be available to order shortly… 😊

General Observations 12/1

Tape binding my handmade books - deeply satisfying (when you eventually get it right…) 👌

The queue isn't to see the thing anymore, to enjoy the thing - the queue is to photograph the thing to show everyone else that we've seen it.
