Bought the dog a new toy. Can’t wait for the dog to get a chance to play with it 😂

The first draft / design of a new zine. I have a few little tweaks to make and then I’ll make a limited print run. The photographs document my walks around the local town.

Finally getting round to editing / sequencing a zine with photos made during my walks around Swindon over the last few years - 👀

Just finished with 2 months of commuting to Madrid weekly for work, way too busy with focusing on the day job and didn't take many photos. Here's a few photos from the first week, taken while I still had some mental energy and the exhaustion from travel + work didn't take hold of me.

Austerity from 2010 dismantled the social contrast and laid the groundwork for Brexit and the shit show that followed - I dread to think where we'll in 5 or so years time.
