“I was not there to illustrate a thesis but to enter the unknown, interacting and responding, and attempting to remain honest.” Chris Steele-Perkins. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

“For these artists… photography doesn’t automatically mean an image confined to a frame, or a page, or a screen. It can be a mural, a sculpture, an installation... it’s also something you cut up, or soak, or sew.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/a...

In postwar Italy, the decisive moment was most often one of contrasts—between the wrinkled faces of the agrarian past and the well-tailored suits of Italy’s economic boom, between nostalgia for the Old World and the awareness that, frankly, it really wasn’t so nice.

Sad news about the passing of Chris Steele-Perkins (1947-2025). I met him only once, but even in that brief time, he left a lasting impression. He was warm, open, and generous in spirit, the kind of presence that immediately put you at ease.

“In my new work I feel I have reached the climax of the things I have been searching the last ten years… I have finally freed myself from the sticky medium of paint, and am working directly with light itself.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/06/a...

"Oaxacan Sketchbooks" is on the walls and ready for today's opening at Galerie Hertz! Reception at 1:00, 1253 South Preston St, Louisville, KY. If you're near, come on down! (The show runs through mid-October if you can't make it today.)

Currently getting my head around this...designer and printer working all day to find construction that can work from a production point of view. I'm glad all I have to do is find a new image :)

Making final corrections with designer & copy editor this morning. Whilst also getting my kid fed, showered, hair washed, reading to him, playing, taking to gym, then preschool, etc, etc :) And then. Sending artwork for 'The Edge of Ruin' to the printer. Very exciting and nervous in equal measure.

“The memory of the prints I made then is hard to separate from the memory of the actual event of taking the photograph,”

“It’s very interesting in her work the way she melds modernist forms with social messages… she was so instrumental in making photography socially relevant.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o...

James Mosley, 1935-2025. We will all miss him a lot, but his writings about type will remain.

Great meeting with designer @wayneford.co.uk this morning about ‘The Edge of Ruin’, looking at signature mapping and materials for endpapers, covers, foils and binding from Fedrigoni and GF Smith. We are making real headway on the book. Layout is complete and the final text editing is in progress.

Photos from my 12-yr project documenting Chronic Kidney Disease of Non-Traditional Causes, a devastating illness that affects agricultural workers across the globe. By having this work in the public domain, I hope that CKDnT, which often goes undiagnosed and untreated, will gain further visibility.

“I see a formal awareness from the beginning. There’s always a scene in the frame. I’m framing, not pointing. I intuitively understood the difference between the world I’m seeing and the world of the photograph” Stephen Shore. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/23/a...

Morning. Today is about images for new work & book. Renaming location folders & tagged files based on final research. Detailed raw processing. Export as High res RGB files for checking & completion for print & screen files. Then conversion to CMYK & corrections for paper we are using. But first...

“More than the beltways or the glass-covered skyscrapers that proliferated along the main avenues, the city that astonished me was one of textures, of mud and dust and improbable, precarious houses” Rodrigo Moya (1934-2025). www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/a...

“To look at a contact sheet forces proximity — not just a physical closeness to the paper, which is as near to your face as the loupe will allow, but to the decision-making process of the photographer.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/a...

Today’s walk.

During the early days of my fishing project, I shot everything on film, the Nikon TW20 was my favourite tool of choice. I bought 8 of them for £5 each, still boxed & unused. That was around 2008 when charity shops were practically giving away film cameras.

👏👏👏

Taking a lunchtime pause from book design to listen to a fascinating online talk: Format – the Women’s Photography Agency, with the inspiring photographers Pam Isherwood and Maggie Murray. Such a privilege to hear their stories and insights. @nationalgalleries.bsky.social

Yesterday I mentioned working in collaboration with designers and others in making a book. This is why..

Had an excellent conversation with @marcwilson.co.uk yesterday about his forthcoming book, The Edge of Ruin. This morning, I am working on the signature mapping and image sequence. There are still a couple of hours left if you would like to back Marc's project. www.kickstarter.com/projects/107...

Just 20 hours left for The Edge of Ruin. Don't say I didn't tell you :)) Pre-order your copy and get your name in the book to say thank you for your support. Just 15 more backers to get to our stretch goal! shorturl.at/MgbKh

A lecture date for the diary… Photographers Pam Isherwood and Maggie Murray are discussing Format: the Women’s Photography Agency, founded in 1983. (© Pam Isherwood, Stop Clause 28 March, Whitehall, London, 9 January 1988) www.nationalgalleries.org/event/resist...

Less than 3 days left on the Kickstarter now and thank you to Mary, Mike and David we are pushing far into the stretch goal now. Wonderful. Last few days to have your name in the book to say thank you for your support and get your signed preorder at the Kickstarter price. shorturl.at/MgbKh

Speaking with designer @wayneford.co.uk this morning about the design for the book 'The Edge of Ruin'. Some very exciting ideas. Pushing both myself and my work. Whilst we are still not yet at full funding, it's getting close enough that we can really work on things.

So exciting!

"For me it is very much a continuation of one of the two strands of work that I make - which are both connected of course..." From my interview with On Landscape magazine about my new work 'The Edge of Ruin'. www.onlandscape.co.uk/2025/07/marc...

"Having to walk in many cases long distances to these sites, certainly played its part in forming the imagery... I found I was never simply waiting to arrive at my destination but the whole journey there became the lead up to the photograph" @marcwilson.co.uk www.onlandscape.co.uk/2025/07/marc...

Last week I spoke with Tim Parkin from On Landscape magazine about my new work 'The Edge of Ruin', discussing my thoughts behind the work, the process, the Kickstarter campaign for the book & how this new body of work fits into my practice. www.onlandscape.co.uk/2025/07/marc...
