Been one of those kinda days, this photograph I got at lunch time on South Bank says it all, reflective. Hug everyone you love tight. Smile more than frown.

It was a grey winter afternoon and Iโ€™d been walking along Southbank with the intention of finding something to photograph. It was getting dark so I pointed my way towards Waterloo and a tube home, I loitered for a moment, and this image happened in front of me...

Join me in Charterhouse Square Wednesday 22nd January on a tour exploring centuries of protest and rebellion that has helped shape our society. Lets explore the streets of Clerkenwell and Smithfield, a magical place for all sorts of radicals and rebels.

Absolutely agree, when itโ€™s ear aching itโ€™s at its best, mind you a few months back I was swimming off one of the chimes and getting a little suntan ๐Ÿงด

Thatโ€™s a lovely part of the world, the view down toward Sandbanks and Harryโ€™s Rock just one of the best, that light makes me want to go right now. Bet it was cold.

Wookie very good answer but not currently available at the kennel club.

Good vibes on the sofa. Whatโ€™s the little ones breed, looks super cuddly.

These guys are queuing up to sell anything they can to the new boys. Itโ€™s such a sham. The nattering of the elites choosing who to side with: obviously anyone with piles of cash. And of course aired through the most morally vacant newspaper you can find.

weโ€™re looking at the black leather backseat of a car where a dog is supposed to be riding. a great dane puppyโ€™s head is nestled in between the head rests on the left and middle, facing forward. his booty and back legs dangle from between the head rests on the middle and right. there is no sign of his body or front limbs. we hope theyโ€™re in the trunk area, but weโ€™re actually not 100% confident this is a single dog.

This is Howard. He couldn't decide where to sit. Wound up in two places at once and may require some assistance. 13/10

If anything sums up what looks like a buckle yourself in kinda year this image does just that. The palm burning brightly above the dismal meaningless things money can buy. But the thing is, money aint saving you from shit like this, money in fact has helped create this.

That is unbelievably low, practically driving on the floor, and imagine the speed at which he was going, bloody hell

London Photography โ€“ Lovat Lane If you creep along Eastcheap beneath the great steel glass towers of commerce, pressed up against the walls by the suited noisy indulgent crowds who serve these buildings, you find yourself lookingโ€ฆ

A few streets down from the famous Pudding Lane where the Great Fire began in 1666 you come across a narrow cobbled street called Lovat Lane. It descends steeply down towards the Thames and the old market building of Billingsgate...

I couldnโ€™t agree more the first series was a masterful balance of storytelling and history. This is a bad channel 5 take on the first one.

Throughout 2024 its been wonderful to see friends and family, to stay in touch, to break bread over the dinner table. share a few glasses of beer and wine, keep in touch, keep together. I hope everyone has a good new year.

After a year of study I graduated and have my golden key to the city. I cant thank enough Jon Wright my mentor who helped me follow 'the brief' and keep stories and themes concise and above all entertaining. A great London guide and one I aspire to.

This has led to one of the most rewarding things I've done which is look at new ways to earn a living and explore the things that most interest and stimulate me. So beginning of 2024 I started training as a history walking guide here in London.

In a sober thought, I feel I am witnessing the slow decline of TV and Film in the UK, so many great professionals unable to find lasting employment. Hope it improves in the New Year, but like many industries, it feels uncertain.

Also its been marvellous to continue as a mentor with If Not Us Then Who and help some amazing creators and storytellers from around the world. Their stories and energies constantly give me a sense of promise and energy. Here's to working with them all into 2025.

2024 work wise has been a mixture of ups and downs. Been great to work alongside some dear friends and long term collaborators this year. Film has been quieter than other years but still has ticked over and been great to work on a variety of shoots in some interesting places with some lovely people.
