View down a lane in the city of London. there is a mural of a robot holding a baby. Five Bollards line along the pavement. There is a bag of rubbish. At the bottom of the lane there are people walking.

A road curves off to the right around a city of London building that curves with it. There is a shaft of sunlight streaming through a gap in the buildings.

Well, that’s a marked improvement from before!!
Maybe it had been stored for a while and just needed some use? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

But it seems my idea of determining what film was β€˜good’ out of those 2 batches hasn’t worked so, as you say @stigofthedump.bsky.social - I should bin the film but keep the cans. πŸ‘

The Rebellion! exhibition opens in June at Newcastle City Library and will be there for three months. It is an exploration of protest as an essential part of our cultural identity in the face of draconian anti-protest legislation.

The start to the year has been so busy there's not been time to really get out into my landscape (50 days of rain didn't help either).

My Valleys work is as much autobiographical as it is about people and place; about my love for exploration and the places I find in the Valleys

⛏️ 42 years ago, just a few weeks before the miners’ strike began, photographer Bruce Rae visited Easington, asking what it meant for a place to be so closely tied to coal - capturing a portrait of a community on the edge of unprecedented upheaval.
