Hey cool photo kids! Let me tell you a story about 'Print Drops'... open.substack.com/pub/synchrom...

I tried to make a cool reel to promote the coming photo print sale... it didn't land at all! ha! I think maaaybe I used too much Excalibur footage. But come on, you can never have enough Excalibur! (such a shame the lead actor playing Arthur was so crap!) youtube.com/shorts/xZQ5w...

I'm releasing some fine art prints to keep the ol' Arthurian Quest rolling! The print release will be on Tuesday 25th November, some time in the evening, on my website here: edwardthompson.co.uk/Print-Sales A range of prices and editions, really, something for everyone.

I might create an alter-ego for my photography who was an ex-City trader... I think galleries like seeing that in photographers biographies as, well, it certainly seems to happen a lot in Photoland!

My unscripted response to great protest photography. I'd like to see the Photo Youtubers who write their scripts with A.I do this ;) youtu.be/q9ZxTb9JiGc

The miserable bastard who did this just got a trillion dollar pay day. There's no karma, there's no cosmic justice. There's just horrible people who more often than not never gave any consequences for their actions in life.

Do I try to email a photo editor who hasn't replied to me in 13 years? I gotta, right? Like the ghost of Christmas past I find a certain delight in still existing, even without their patronage.

Oh, go on then. It has been 3 weeks since I posted anything. youtu.be/gzNzL7HQknw

Adobe Lightrooms new AI 'Assisted Culling'... yep, it sounds as bad as it is! Would you let the AI decide which photographs from your widest edit are the keepers?

He must be a billionaire.

"The collapse of the institutions where young people learn to make and critique art stands to greatly benefit companies like OpenAI, which, in the absence of human artists and critics, can both make the stuff and tell us it’s good." lareviewofbooks.org/article/lite...

Forgot to delete my Twitter account. Done! I'd recommend you do it too. There was a lot of data on my account from 2011 to last year.

Do any photography magazines pay people for the unhinged and politely Gonzo stuff I've been writing on Substack? synchromancy.substack.com I want to be paid so I can use (waste) more time on my Photo YouTube 'loss leading' channel. BJP? AP? DP? DVLA? PetaPixel? Aperture?

It's 2029. Reform have won the General Election in the U.K. A song is released to celebrate. It is a Gabba version of 'Land of Hope and Glory'. Everyone learns to love it.

This ‘they want us dead’ 🦋💙🦋

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

Just had an email from a photo gallery hustling for portfolio reviews. They didn't say they cost anything in the email so I hit them back as if they were free. I'll let you know what happens.

A little cringe... I thought Matt Stuart was a Magnum Photographer, someone corrected me once it went live. Ha! It just goes to show how little I pay attention to Magnum these days, which was funnily enough the 2nd point I make in the video. youtu.be/BlM8A-5-1gc

I was trying to plug in my rode microphone to my MacBook Pro. To be plugged in I need to unplug my power cable to the Mac. I feel like whenever I record on it without power plugged in my audio is delayed. my rode microphone isn't picked up by my current usb/usb-c multi adapter

The photo influencers are tricking photographers to go to camera trade shows. It's quite amazing where we find ourselves.

Looking at all the wonderful photographs of of June Goodall. And knowing that I had the chance to photograph one night on a corporate assignment. It was a bar at one in the morning with no lighting on af all and they banned me from using flash. Fun being a jobbing photographer isn't it?

Fuck it, I'm watching Hackers.

Just marvelling at basic photographers who somehow have massive followings on Youtube and 1000s of paid members on Patreon. I swear to God, either the devil exists and people are selling their souls for success or Grays Sports Almanac exists... This fucking place

A short essay about friendship, photography, death and loss. open.substack.com/pub/synchrom...

I met an old friend who went to art college the same time as me 25 years ago. I was surprised to find he is a fan of Elon Musk, thought that it was good Trump had got rid of Stephen Colbert as Colbert was an 'asshole' and that Charlie Kirk was a moderate. 21st century England ladies and gents...

In memory of my cool friend Stefan, the original man on a sofa with chickens. His funeral is on Wednesday and he was my first and only muse. Every photographer have that one friend.... youtu.be/xwN5twHM33k

Just had a shitty comment on my last video by a 20 year old alt-right YouTuber! Yep, Gen Z fascists! They exist now. What a world.

I saw some phony LUT grifting pro gamer / photographer post an advert on IG and it made me a little sick So I ripped off his layout and did it myself! I kept the text in the 2nd slide pretty much exactly the same 😘 I wonder what are the chances they'll see it? www.instagram.com/p/DOskFglDBF...

Delighted to inform you that Alan Moore is on tonight's BBC Front Row, discussing The Great When, psycho-geography, comics, fascism and the trouble with superheroes... 715pm Radio 4 or link after.. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

I used to think that people who ignored my emails were my betters, that I had no business to email them. But now after 25 years, when I know they know who I am, it shows me how weak they are.

At the far right 'Unite The Kingdom' protest today in London...

Trying to help a photojournalist friend whose in hard times. He's doing day labouring for money, but of course, he's photographing it on their phone! Amazing work. I said I'd look for some photo grants for him and can't find any he ticks the boxes for. Anyone know of anything?

Goddamn, the internet is weird. @garbageday.bsky.social www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

I'm doing an online talk for Open College of the Arts tonight Been a while since I did my "artist talk" so it's going to be fun Didn't end up buying more slutty little glasses after my eye test today, so the old ones will do P.s I do talks / workshops for Universities still. Tell your friends.

Logging into Facebook after a long time away to invite old friends to a friends funeral. This is the future of Facebook.
