Today I’ll be doing the first proper day of photography for the Outsiders project since 2022, focusing on long term street homelessness and tent encampments. The situation is much worse than it was and the exhibition must reflect that. Nobody should be sleeping rough in a country as wealthy as ours.

Stop! 😎🙏

How much do we love this guy! Saw him in #Montreal early 2025 and he was the standout! If you need ‘new great songs’ look no further.

I’m always hesitant to use terms like two-tier policing but the double standards I witnessed today from the Met Police at the protest against the proscription of Palestine Action were staggering. You won’t believe the photos when I post them later today.
