Thank God for immigrants.

Abstractions
Continuing my obsession with capturing the multiple layers of reflections. For me, the devil is very much in the surface detail π

Holding Hands
Taking photos of people is, for me, a privilege. The images I make are mostly candid, snapshots of real life happening in front of me. There is so much joy to be found in these quiet moments of humanity.
Thanks for looking ππ»

A Field in England
On the hottest day of the year, I took a trip across the Midlands to see the last functioning coal fired power station in the UK.
Except, it didn't quite work out that way. I got quite distracted by the extraordinary scenes I found in a nearby field.... β¬οΈ

Sitting in the shadow of Ratcliffe Power Station is Redhill Marina. People bring their boats & barges from all over, seeking repairs at the workshops here.
Vessels are lifted from the water & parked in the fields, where they're repaired, lived in or sometimes, left to rot away π

The rural fields, derelict boats & monumental towers combine to create a surreal scene!
Amongst it all is a friendly community of boat people. I am deeply thankful for their generosityππ»
If you're ever in the area, give the Marina Cafe a visit, you won't be disappointed π

Diverted
Hello Everybody π
In the last few weeks, I seem to have been bitten by the black & white bug π·
After watching 'Ripley', I've been captivated by how the contrast between black & white can create tremendous depths of depth & cinematic atmosphere π½

Surface tension
Reflections: Yeah, I'm obsessed π I do struggle at times to keep things interesting, so I've gotten into the habit of looking for imperfect reflections to deepen the sense of abstraction. I have to work harder to make good images, but it's worth the effort πΈπ€©

It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a βget the tories outβ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew theyβd get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.
