I worked all sorts of street fests on Louisville's Main Street even before I moved into the loft there in 1991. These were made with a Yashicamat TLR.
1) Louisville American Musicfest 1989
2) Pretzel vendor, StraรŸenfest 1990

Hi Deborah. Inspired by your work I went to a cyanotype workshop at Ruthin Arts centre last weekend. Shared your work with the wonderful teacher (Mary Thomas instagram.com/marytcyanolumen) who was blown away.

A Polaroid picture of a view of a tree in the winter setting sun.  The colours are a mix of pinks, browns and blacks - the tree is in the middle of the picture with the sun behind it.

Another Polaroid of the setting sun in a winter scene - the sky is blue, purple and pink and the sun is just behind the tree - the land is snow covered.

I have been taking Polaroids of my garden and the views from it and divided them into seasons - an ongoing project that started a few years ago and here are a few from Winter on the Pennines.

Happy 80th birthday to the beautiful human @brucecockburn.bsky.social

This was a moment caught by Ali Jones I will treasure the rest of my days at the @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social when I'd captured the great man with a wet plate portrait.

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

Jesus never claimed divinity. Yes he said he was the son of god, and he also said we are all children of god.

Iโ€™m pretty much a stone-cold atheist. Jesus, though? That guy was a sharp moral philosopher, in a time and place where being one was hazardous to your health.

Ride for Glen Rosa Help Alex Boyd raise money to support National Trust for Scotland

Hello all! Myself and two friends are cycling 250 miles along the Caledonian Way this Saturday. We are hoping to fund efforts to replace some of the 15,000 trees lost after a devastating wildfire on Arran in April. If you are able to donate or to share this post it would be hugely appreciated โค๏ธ

โ€˜Every person that clashed with him has leftโ€™: the rise, fall and spectacular comeback of Sam Altman From Elon Musk to his own board, anyone who has come up against the OpenAI CEO has lost. In a gripping new account of the battle for AI supremacy, writer Karen Hao says we should all be wary of the po...

This is quite an interesting article. I thought it was going to be Hagiography but turns out it's not. The stuff about Altman's sister is very sad. You really shouldn't trust this man or his vision (aka greed).

Was in Broadford on Skye yesterday. Got the worst chip supper I've ever had in my life, for ยฃ12.50. The only supermarket is half empty, no beer on the hottest day of the year. The roads are fucked, full of potholes. And it costs ยฃ200 to rent a room for a night. I feel ashamed of my region.

Gotta lot of time for @keithedwards.bsky.social

I'm not American. But this also moved me.

Because the rise of oligarchs and what is going on the US right now threatens us all. Wherever we live.
