I recently revisited an old shoot from 2022 with @artemisfauna.bsky.social and here is a link to the shoot -> www.techno-mage.co.uk/blog/techno-...

For the first time in YEARS I have done some (admittedly light) exercise every day for all of this week - seven day streak! I am actually enjoying myself, and tomorrow I up the time spent walking to 1 hour... Let's GET this!

Strongly recommending newly released British film "The Salt Path" to anyone with the time and inclination to go to the cinema and watch something beautiful and moving and meaningful and basically perfect. Anderson and Isaacs are both giving it all. #supportindiefilm #supportbritishfilm #chooseart

Big Tech's emissions increased 150% in just 4 years, "thanks" to the exploding electricity demands of slop-bucket LLMs that boil lakes to rephrase the internet Generative AI is worse than useless; it is making it impossible for us to limit climate change www.energymonitor.ai/news/interna...

That moment when, whilst out walking one’s parents’ dog of a Sunday morning, you find yourself openly weeping because a fascinating and accomplished person younger than yourself has chosen the Overture from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves on Desert Island Discs. #middleaged #oldnow #randomtears

I know perfectly well where my towel is, and where my wild-swimming towel is, and so I win! Do you know where your towel is? Happy International Towel Day! #internationaltowelday

Oh my heart...

The Arrochar Alps on medium format film… This is the last of these for a while. #mediumformat #film #ilford #hp5 #120 #hasselblad #500c

Memento Mori - more Hasselblad medium format photography #mediumformat #film #ilford #hp5 #monochrome #mono #hasselblad #500c

The ferry that runs between Inversnaid and Tarbet on Loch Lomond, captured on medium format film with my Hasselblad 500c #mediumformat #film #ilford #hp5 #hasselblad #500c #mono

This fine chap was waiting for the ferry to Tarbet at Inversnaid Pier when I went down there with my new/old Hasselblad 500c loaded up with its first roll of film under my stewardship. I can’t remember his name, alas, but he was from Mexico and his travelling companion was from Hungary #mediumformat

The road to Stronachlachar… Here is another medium format film photograph from my recent experiments with my new / old Hasselblad 500c #mediumformat #film #hasselblad500c #ilfordxp2 #mono #monochrome

Factor’s Isle, Loch Katrine, captured on medium format film with my new / old Hasselblad 500c #mediumformatphotography #mediumformat #film #hasselblad #500c #monochrome #xp2 #ilford

The Royal Mail Post Box at Stronachlachar on the shores of Loch Katrine. I have photographed it many times with different cameras and in different conditions, but this is the first time that I photographed it with a Medium Format film camera. #mediumformat #hasselblad500c #mono #film #XP2

Another photograph from my first 2 rolls through my new (to me) Hasselblad 500c. This is the beautiful, Victorian railing at the end of Stronachlachar Pier, with Factor’s Isle and the open loch in the background. #mediumformat #film #hasselblad #mono #monochrome

This is a photo I took recently with my new / old medium format film camera - my Hasselblad 500c. The scan was done by the lab, but hopefully I will be doing my own scans soon. #mediumformat #film #newoldcamera #photography #photo #landscape #loch

BREAKING Authorities in the Philippines have arrested former President Rodrigo Duterte. This comes after the ICC issued a warrant related to Duterte’s role in crimes against humanity during his administration’s “war on drugs,” which resulted in thousands of deaths and many extrajudicial killings.

OVERHEARD: man complaining to a vendor that Mexican Coke was a dollar more than last time. The vendor said, "Sir, it's made in Mexico. That's the tariff."

There should be mass protests in the US over this. Allowing the US to brazenly transgress first amendment rights, down to rescinding green cards, shouldn’t be tolerated.

With the banning of puberty blockers for trans youth, watch the increase in eating disorders climb in that group, as they do ANYTHING to have some sort of bodily autonomy. Puberty blockers are a SAFE way to give SPACE to explore gender. www.thepinknews.com/2025/03/10/p...

My dear Chum and Accomplice @chiaramaccallphoto.bsky.social taking a quick phone shot of one of the Angels on The Bridge of Angels in Rome, thus continuing my decades long metaphotography project of photographs of her taking photographs. #chum #friend #foundfamily #roma #cittaeterna #rome #travel

I am still lost for words. I could not finish the video the first time I tried, I will try again. I saw it coming last November. I am hoping that I was wrong about some of the other stuff I prophesied. The Death of the Republic is entirely on schedule... thoughtcrime.org.uk/2024/11/07/t...

I was recently in Rome, and had the opportunity to take this image on The Bridge of Angels - what a sky! #cittaeterna #roma

Oh my...

Call it what it is

The media are crying out for a serving politician to decry Trump, so here goes: he’s a lying, corrupt, incompetent criminal who is a useful idiot to Putin. Together they are literally destroying the fabric of western democracy and European security. Is any MP prepared to agree?

Sometimes I get to see especially rare things and this is one of them - the view from a dear friend’s aunt’s apartment in Rome.

So we published a (mostly) complete edition of Elizabeth Siddal's poems, and also a companion volume of our photographs, so heavily influenced by them. You can get them both at ElizabethSiddal.com Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Managed to capture this from the roadside yesterday... #glenliving #photolife

@catalwaysoutside.bsky.social Hello there m’Dear! Welcome to the new place… 😉 How You..?

I wandered out at lunchtime with my camera to get a “character portrait” of the ruined building next to my house. It had been a beautiful, crisp, Winter’s day here today 😊 ❄️🏔️ #photolife #monochrome #mono #black&white #glenliving #alba #scotland

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #771,598!

My photography is being featured in a book that has launched on Kickstarter today. The book is a collection of artistic nude photography, so it's potentially NSFW, though the Kickstarter is appropriately censored. Here's the link the project -> www.kickstarter.com/projects/min...

My view yesterday evening when I chose to have a garden chill before the Euros final - I am so amazingly lucky 😊 #glenliving

. I'm with the bear on this one. .

I wrote something about finding the rare moment of joy and hope in a political landscape more prone to disenchantment... maleghast.medium.com/cymru-am-byt...

Moonlit clouds over Glen Arklet this morning when I got up. #glenliving #alba #scotland #photolife #geeklife

Mmmm dinner

Music and darkness and flashing lights and dancing - Stigmata is filling up my club battery very nicely #geeklife #clublife #nightlife

A dark and rainy morning in Milngavie today as I await my departure for the centre of Glasgow. Nothing like enough of a downer to make me second guess my choices, but I do prefer the dry winter days 😉Still, onwards to glory, or at least another day in the office - not got quite the same ring to it…
