A new 'Woodwork' print for the gallery this weekend. Hard to show all the detail of a big picture on a small screen, but perhaps this gives some sense of it. www.brightonphotography.com/woodwork

Autumn seems a good time to buy a book full of trees. Like this one perhaps… www.finnhopson.com/photobook-products/woodworkbook Also contains some excellent old English words like ‘nunty’, ‘shimper’ and ‘mizmaze’.

Walking back to my car in a supermarket carpark. Watched a car slowly pulling out of a spot without his lights on, tried to catch the drivers eye to let him know, but instead watched him gently drive into my car then whizz off. In the nicest possible way, I hope he hits a tree.

Happy autumn equinox to my fellow northern hemispherers.

People say why is it flour and not flower and I say because it's spelt that way.

Fix your government with this one simple hack.

Silver Birches at Arne.

The rough with the smooth. Sussex coast, summer 2025.

An excellent spot of nominative determinism.

Wow, the Amex has really changed since I last visited.

These are amazing. Humanising migrants, imagine that. Bravo the Observer, the photographers, the helpers. God bless those sleeping children and their parents. observer.co.uk/news/interna...

My book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt is out in just 3 weeks. I’ve poured everything into writing it and getting it out into the world as far as I can. I’d love your help. A share, a preorder, a message to someone who might love it, it all makes a difference. Info and links below. #Scotland #Books

This is probably fine.

This is a really exciting opportunity for photographers in #Brighton & #Hove (and beyond!). The kind of place I wish I’d had access to along the way. Studio, gallery, darkroom and library. Collaboration & community at its heart. Please take a look at the Kickstarter and lend your support if you can!

I have succumbed to pollen. Please wake me in autumn.

You've not heard The Prodigy until you've heard them in the original Bands of HM Royal Marines. This is outrageously better than it has any right to be. youtu.be/FJBdGTN56rU?...

Very niche MTB content, but I just managed to get two new tubeless tyres on first time. No mess, no leaks, no throwing it all in a hedge and taking up golf. Off to buy a lottery ticket…
