ONE WEEK LEFT to see the exhibition that John Convery and I put together!!! Get down to Centrala in Digbeth (Birmingham), buy a coffee (or tea or beer) and have a look. It's pretty impressive if I don't say so myself. centrala-space.org.uk/exhibitions/...

Issue one of Noise & Detail - a new photozine by myself and John Convery. Was so much fun to work on this and the exhibition and really celebrate just a small portion of the live music scene in #Birmingham #zine #photozine #livemusicphotography #livemusic #Centrala

New BLOODY HEAD is up for pre-order now on Bandcamp! 300 only in beautiful spot-varnished sleeves hand numbered by the band. Don't dilly. bloodyhead.bandcamp.com/album/bend-d...

What an evening! Noise & Detail zine launch and exhibition was great! Exhibition ends 20 December! I'll be at Centrala later this afternoon so you might still be able to pick it up for the discounted 'launch' rate of £5 before they go online. #zine #photozine #centrala #birmingham #digbeth

Zine launch and exhibition in 3 days!!! Everything is almost ready... centrala-space.org.uk/exhibitions/... #zine #zinelaunch #photozine #photoexhibition #livemusicphotography #birmingham #digbeth #digbethfirstfriday

Maybe 'the partner' starting a masters in my 3rd year of PhD wasn't the flex I thought it was beforehand... 🙀

Excited to be starting a new photo zine, Noise & Detail, with the talented #JohnConvery - we'll be launching it & having an exhibition opening at #Centrala in #Digbeth on 5 December! #noise&detail #zine #photozine #livemusic #musicphotography #photoexhibition facebook.com/events/s/exh...

#IndestructibleEnergyZine is here on Saturday (with some other bits and pieces). Am looking forward to being at a zine fair after a long hiatus due to being too busy and unorganized. If you're in Nottingham (or fancy a day out in Nottingham) stop in & say hi. #zines #zinefair #nottszinefest

Zines, zines, zines. I did a podcast chatting about the #ZELP project, emotional literacy and general #zine stuff. It was fun. I didn't rant *too* much. The accompanying video that the podcaster made it super cool. 🩷 www.linkedin.com/posts/lucind...

Wrong Speed Records Fest, Glastonbury Day 1! #WrongSpeedFest2025 #WSF2025 #livemusicphotography

Awesome zine workshop with the Co-production team at Toucan talking about World Migratory Bird Day (on October 11!) and used the idea of bird migration to explore change in our own lives. A really beautiful sentiment that led to some wicked zines! #zines #ZinesAndMentalHealth #ZinesAndResearch

Youth mental health difficulties have increased in prevalence (rather than better awareness) and key drivers likely include economic precarity, smartphone use, sleep quality and closure of youth services. An excellent piece of research led by @olademk.bsky.social

Excited about this gig tomorrow at Centrala. Haress is definitely a band to check out if you don't know them... haress.bandcamp.com/album/haress-2

Getting closer to presentation time. 😬 #ZineResearch #QMIP2025

Finally finished with my #IAYMH2025 conference zine! #zine #ZineMaking #ZineResearcher

#ICYMI folks w/deep experience re:crisis web archiving (@sucho-org.bsky.social)+building tools for it (@webrecorder.net) made a free zine teaching how anyone can archive the things you love on the web before they go away: zinebakery.com/homemade-zin... & why you shouldn't expect others will do so

When a presenter says "chi square" and I get a stress response. 🤣

Really cannot wait to see my sister in 14 days. It's about time for the vibe of this year to change. The reflexivity chapter of the past two months is going to be a doozy.

On the #projectEPIC blog today is one part of two (because I do like to spoil you) on a report from the PHaR conference "Feeling and Being Understood". In the post, I summarise the incredible workshops we took part in: epistemicinjusticeinhealthcareproject.blogspot.com/2025/02/work...

That’s meeee

I'd really like a boring, quiet month... Maybe May. #ChippedTooth ☹️

PHaR conference this week has been inspiring, invigorating and exhausting. My brain is now mush. Top 4 photos.

Adding stock-image children to a bike lane design should be a necessary planning step.
