pinned post!
Almost at the end of the stamping and signing of many archive C-type prints which Iâll eventually sell. A lifetime of kicking around airfields and street corners but this is the 130 edit Plane Pictures project (1997-2002) about the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothersâ first-ever powered flight.

This gallery of dystopian Landskaps distantly acknowledges my Netherlandish Baker family roots on Foulness Island, the Bakkers. I also used to live in modern day Flanders which later influenced an affinity for the Dutch masters and bad Flemish TV

Iâve been on the streets of Chelsea where the flower festival is in full swing, the pavements blocked by flower followers who seem to photograph every petal outside local businesses. As my daughter rightly says, theyâre ânaffâ but I like to watch the peripheries where obsessive behaviour shows.

USS Harry Truman, Persian Gulf, 2000. The US Navy allowed me to photograph an aircraft carrier for 3 days but after 24hrs we were flown off so although Iâd already shot enough for two issues of the commissioning magazine, it didnât feel Iâd justified the months of negotiation to get me on-board.

It'll be ten years since the community occupation of Herne Hill's Carnegie Library, a local story which became an international newspiece - and which I photographed throughout (see picture below of mine in the Observer last year). The issues of closing the libraries seemingly as relevant today.

My favourite ten pictures of 2025. A few are just one-offs and sometimes from a sequence of many and others are the result of much work. In any case, theyâre in places I know well but as Saul Leiter said: âMysterious things happen in familiar placesâ.

More than 400 âhorselessâ veteran cars left Hyde Park and drove through south London en-route to Brighton, including the 1904 Stanley Stream driven by ex-RAF fighter pilot and Wing Commander, Andy Green who also happens to still hold the world land speed record, which broke down and was retired.

The t-shirt of this elderly lady arrested yesterday reads âA womanâs place is in the resistanceâ and I imagine her and other women there as Greenham peace camp veterans, well used to being harassed and dragged away by Thatcherâs security forces. Four decades on, protesting for same principles.

Do listen to Observer Arts critic Laura Cummings whose bite-size episodes 'Speed of Light' is about early photographers and their influential work that's passed on much of our everyday visual culture. Some unknowns like Alphonse Bertillon, inventor of the police mugshot
