Went for a relaxing lie down on the sofa. Watched an in-depth video explaining why WW3 is now under way. I think I may need to work on my relaxation techniques.

Like everyone else, I'm telling you to watch Rosalía's BRIT Awards performance youtu.be/7fyufPkXLbs?...

Today 25 of us went trespassing along the River Dart near Buckfast. In just 5km we walked through woodlands and along riverbanks owned by 4 different landowners who don't want the public on their land (including the monks at Buckfast Abbey). It's time for a right to roam! @righttoroam.bsky.social

Sounds good to me

I have no neighbours next doors or upstairs for the next few weeks, so I'm enjoying a voluminous musical celebration. Kicking off proceedings with my favourite ear bleeding Björk remix www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFO4...

This spring sees the release of a documentary about the fight to defend and extend access to nature in England and Wales. OUR LAND, directed by Orban Wallace and shot by Gallivant Film, follows the Right to Roam campaign as we trespass estates and challenge removal of rights on Dartmoor and beyond.

One of my favourite bands from the late 90s. Always felt they were massively under-appreciated so I'm glad to hear they're having a bit of a moment. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f...

Looking forward to this www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnAD...

I do like the mixture of melancholy and resilience of a lone, wind-battered tree on top of Dartmoor on a foggy winter's day. -- #Dartmoor 📷

Post a tree you photographed

“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

Have just discovered that peanut butter and kimchi is a killer combo. I suspect this will now be my default lunch for the next few weeks.

Bit worried about this constant changing of Prime Ministers thing. What if we run out of talent and end up with a shit one?

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Went for a long walk up on Dartmoor to get out into nature. Took photographs of concrete.

Dancing in the Streets by Bowie and Jagger. One of those songs that is so unforgivably awful it actually makes me angry.

February Postcard Swap Hello! I am back and have created a postcard swap for February. You can sign up here at Elfster. For those that don't know what this is, we are sharing original photography via postcard-sized print through the mail. You can find more details on the About page.

Unputdownable is an overused word, but this genuinely is. I've had to take a few days off before starting another book to give it the time it deserves to fully sink in. Astonishingly good. #bookSky

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us by buying our Flow zine so far - it means a lot. Still a few copies left if you'd like to get your hands on 60 pages of unique Dartmoor art and photos accompanied by the beautiful words of Kirsteen McNish. dartmoorcollective.org/product/flow...

fwiw I don't think it is possible to build genAI in such a way that it benefits workers rather than capital because it is fundamentally based on non consensual extraction of labour to get going. what would it actually mean for the workers to own the means of production here

Can we please have an international No Trump day. Just one day when no one mentions his name, no one quotes him, no one interviews him, no one reports what he has said or done, no one talks or writes about him, no one has to see his stupid face or hear his demented ramblings. How lovely it would be.

A great duo of posts about a day of photographing Plymouth. Part 1 is here: tamarphotography.substack.com/p/one-day-in...

Some beautifully moody conditions on yesterday afternoon’s dog walk #dartmoor #atmosphere #photography

Excellent article on the deep and inextricable links between dance music and politics. Brought back lots of memories from my younger days of squat parties, free festivals, Reclaim The Streets and Kill The Bill protests. www.decodedmagazine.com/the-politics...

Lunch at Challacombe stone row -- #standingStoneSunday #Dartmoor

Dartmoor in all its glory

My last two shots before my world went dark.

If you're a Mark Fisher fan this will be a film not to miss. If you've never heard of Mark Fisher but you're even remotely curious about why the world is in the state it's in and what to do about it, this will be a film not to miss. www.eventbrite.com/e/we-are-mak... (tickets are free)

Who did this> 🤣

Trowlesworthy stone circle on Dartmoor. This is how I like my stone circles: no visitor centre, no signs, no manicured paths, no fences. Just the stones, the landscape, the weather. -- #standingStoneSunday

Winter evenings sorted for the next few weeks

Excellent new Sleaford Mods track with equally excellent video by Andrea Arnold www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1ae...

The 1st of January 2026 marked the centenary of landmark legislation which, for the first time, created a right to walk and ride on significant areas of common land in town and country. This law was largely thanks to our friends the Open Spaces Society. dartmoorpreservation.co.uk/centenary-of...

The Long Stone on Dartmoor with Kestor in the background. It was used as a parish boundary marker and has "GP" and "DC" carved into it (Gidleigh Parish and Duchy of Cornwall). An amazing part of the moor with stone rows, standing stones, hut circles and field systems all around. #standingStoneSunday

Doesn't look like I'll be ditching the pyjamas any time soon

Seriously considering staying in bed unless I receive a cast iron guarantee that 2026 is going to be an improvement on 2025.

If you're looking for the perfect Christmas present for someone who loves Dartmoor, art and photography then we still have some copies of Flow available for sale on the website. All proceeds from sales go directly to supporting the visual arts on Dartmoor. dartmoorcollective.org/product/flow...

6.30pm and I'm in my pyjamas and dressing gown, drinking Horlicks, eating a hot mince pie, and feeling pretty damn pleased about it.

Avebury, undoubtedly one of the most remarkable places in England. It's been a couple of years since I last visited, time for another visit soon. -- #standingStoneSunday

Why are bananas so rubbish these days? They used to taste and smell delicious and very... banana-y. Now they taste and smell of absolutely nothing and nearly always have a weird floury texture. Have they been enshittified like everything else?

New t-shirt. Just in case anyone is in any doubt.

Grey Wethers, Dartmoor. -- #standingStoneSunday

Dartmoor is dying - it's time to bring it back to life. Today the Dartmoor Nature Alliance publish a new call to action to restore Dartmoor's habitats: rewet peat bogs, revive heaths by reducing grazing, double temperate rainforest area Read it & join here: www.dartmoornature.org.uk/call-to-action

A much-awaited treat, third or fourth viewing of the wonderful Ida, but first time on the big screen

Sunday afternoon -- 📸

Dartmoor yesterday afternoon. Soggy, squelchy, shrouded, silent.

I am happy to inform you that marmalade consumption in my house is most definitely not plummeting.

Hello photographers - sign up for this, it's great! You send one postcard a month and you receive one. You don't know what you'll get or where it's going to come from. I've received some beautiful ones, including handmade cyanotypes and prints, and my photos have gone to UK, Australia and America. 📸
