Lovely to be in the Western Mail magazine today with my @clwbffoto.bsky.social show, only a couple of pages away from Rhian Elizabeth, who kindly lent some poetry to the Valleys book. The Valleys are coming!

My photo shows a museum display with colourful Minoan pottery cups arranged on three clear shelves, one above the other. These cups, known as Kamares Ware, are from Phaistos, Crete. They were made in palace workshops, c. 1800-1700 BC. The cups range in shape and size from conic and cylindrical cups (top and middle shelves) to hemispherical and carinated shaped cups (bottom shelf). They are decorated with multi-coloured geometric motifs; with spirals and swirls painted in red and white pigment on black.

Sipping my coffee ☕️ and thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups!

They look so modern it’s incredible to think they were made during the Bronze Age some 3,800 years ago!

@stigofthedump.bsky.social very much enjoyed the lo-fi podcast and your pictures at the Northern Eye were fab :-)

One of the most useful promotional tools I've used over the past year - I’m often asked about ‘what kind of photography’ I do. Whipping your phone out is fine, but I always think a physical copy is nice to hand out, so I had these made…sort of a multi layer business card.

Great to see the young Lionesses playing at Shrewsbury Town last night... England Women’s Under 23s were denied a win with a late stoppage time equaliser from Netherlands U23's Eva Oude Elberink - the match ending 1-1. #Lionesses #Shropshire

Today's the day folks! VALLEYS opening tonight, at Clwb Ffoto in Newport. Photos from the book, photos not in the book, limited edition prints, stickers... It's all go. See you there!

Thanks Alan 🙏✌️

A black and white photograph of a large, two-story stone house perched on a rocky cliff overlooking a rushing river. The house features multiple gables, white-trimmed windows, and two prominent chimneys. In the foreground, dark water swirls around a large rock, while misty trees and hills are visible in the background.

My review of the 'A Taste of Loyalty' film premiere, which looks to bring a different interpretation of Richard III to the big screen. The vision is ambitious, the passion infectious, and the potential enormous.
A BOAR-ILLIANT success 🐗

A beautiful morning. #LongMynd #ChurchStretton #Shropshire @thephotohour.bsky.social

About 60 zines packed up and ready to ship.
40 more to do still today.
Coffee break.

VALLEYS COLOURS Forgive my piggy little eyes here folks, I was blinded by the brilliance of my Valleys Colours print! Here in an A3 test, but available from my VALLEYS show in @clwbffoto.bsky.social from Friday as an A2 Giclee print for £45!

‘The camera is my weapon of choice’: Gordon Parks’ era-defining shots of segregation – and those who defied it The visionary photographer captured the ugliness of racism in America, as well as the strength and dignity of those who opposed it – from cleaners in the corridors of power to Martin Luther King Jr proclaiming his dream

Screenshot of a photo zine in development. On the front is a Red Rebel with the words Rebellion! and Davenant. The next page has the words: "Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion" Oscar Wilde Opposite is a protester in a V for Vendetta mask holding a placard which says THE ONLY WAR THAT MATTERS IS THE WAR AGAINST THE IMAGINATION ALL OTHER WARS ARE SUBSUMED IN IT

I’ve thought for a long time that photo books have become too expensive, making them inaccessible to many people. So I’m mostly going to give up on them and move to doing high quality zines at an affordable price instead. Rebellion! will be a zine not a book and it’s coming along nicely.

Stac Polly from Loch Bad a Ghaill earlier today. We'd just come down from the top and decided to stop off for a mess with some long exposures.....who should turn up half an hour later but the legend that is Mr Bruce Percy.....what a fine fella!

A variety of illustrations including two country lanes, two harbours, a curving road with houses and some lobster pots.

All the recent work, some in progress.

How a football cup run helped unite a town For a club rooted in non-league football, Macclesfield’s recent FA Cup didn't just connect those on the pitch, but a whole community

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Happy St David's Day! Will have a few posts for you today, because... Wales!

Yes, definitely, and I'm sure we'll renew ours too - but in it for the long haul anyway as I've been going since maybe 1975/6 🫣 It would just be nice to have a happy ending to this season after everything we've all been through :-)
