I’m frightened but brave, married but alone, happy but sad, angry but calm, an idiot but intelligent, rich yet penniless, a pessimist but optimistic, I love life but I want life to end. A man full of love and contradiction, not living.

Hello 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼 What’s happened since I’ve been away?

Disappearing for 12wks to try and rebuild my neurodivergent brain and cope better. Thanks to everyone who has interacted with my posts. It means an awful lot to me, I just need to figure out who ‘me’ is. #photography #theartistsway #neurodivergence #selfhelp #healing #thankyou

Solstice and A Missed Opportunity. I didn’t spot this until I got home to review the images. On the rocks there is a Grey Seal! I bought the 100-400mm lens to try some wildlife photography. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Another day perhaps 😁

Thanks @lelievrephoto.bsky.social 🙏🏼 A fabulous feed with stunning images.

Thanks @denniswmchugh.info A nice few minutes spent looking through your feed. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very pleased with the Fujifilm XT5 and XF100-400mm lens. Digital yes, but as analogue as a digital camera can be. Four test images from yesterday. #fujifilmuk #photography #testshots

Excited! #newcameraday #fujifilmuk #rebirth #newpath #happy #photography

I Am Different. I would’ve loved to have lived the life I deserved but always felt different due to a childhood trauma. At 57 my neurodivergence is now very obvious and makes sense. I still await an official diagnosis, but I am starting to understand how to live. #different #me #neurodivergence

Calm In Green One of the best birthdays ever, spent in amongst nature. I needed this so much today. #nature #calm #green #hamsterleyforest #forestryengland

Another Day, Another Year Today I can visit a beach as a free European, thanks to the commitment and bravery of men who fought and died on the beaches of Normandy on 6th of June 1944. My birthday today has the same wish, that the memory of the fallen live on. #forthefallen #D-Day81 #Birthday

My dream On the eve of yet another trip around the sun, I am hopeful. Hopeful that conflicts end, love and compassion becomes the most valuable commodity and people help the planet by consuming less. I’m aware that this is ‘pie in the sky’, so the usual money in an envelope is also welcome 🙏🏼

2018 Not 1818 The Wear was once an industrial powerhouse for shipbuilding. When the Tall Ships race arrived in 2018, it provided an opportunity to revisit those halcyon days. #webuiltships #TallShips #Sunderland #timesgoneby #photography #blackandwhitephotography
