The Barrydale Analogue Photo Festival may be a bit too far for some of you to travel (South Africa) but fear not! You can visit my part of the show online :)

The 6th Annual Barrydale Analogue Photo Festival is on from 12 - 20th December in the Western Cape. I'm showing some work printed using the cyanotype, Van Dyke brown, and salted paper processes and will be speaking at 2pm on Saturday 13th.

Our thoughts exactly after viewing the Kiefer show at the Ashmolean earlier this year. Great show, but was it worth 16 quid? About 50 early works, sketches, books. Didn't feel substantial enough for that price. I'm used to Italian ticket prices I guess.

BBC History’s Heroes – graphic of the title against a background of teal and orange smoke.
Delighted to announce my new podcast series History’s Heroes is launching today on BBC Sounds and wherever you get your podcasts. Also coming to BBC Radio 4 later this year!
Episode 1 is Saving Face With Harold Gillies
Episode 2 is Katharine Hepburn: Queen of the Screen
Yep. Here in Jozi we all have year-round 'allergies'.
05.06.2025 16:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Alternative photography print processes really cost three times as much for every component (paper, chemistry, transparency media, ink, computer, printer, UV lamps, brushes etc etc) for me to pursue, so I'm very happy about the new supplier :-D

To understand the impact of this, multiply the price of a luxury item like a bag of coffee beans by 3. That represents what I have to consider. Would you buy coffee beans if you had to pay 3 x your price in the 'first world'?

Four brown and white images. A motorcycle near the wall of an old building; two men at work in a church with dramatic lighting; arches of an old cloisters; external view of an old church with Arab-Norman domes.
And a great weekend in the dimroom. Four new Van Dyke brown analogue handprints.

A happy weekend. Issue #3 of Tombe online, the only magazine that centres African-based photography, features one of my photos

Having just been to Herculaneum (was there in 2016)I can attest to overtourism making even the lesser known sites unpleasantly busy. My own observation is that at least 50% of people at such sites are bored shitless and have no real interest in being there.

Stupid tourist.
How did One Nation do? I don't see any mention of it in the news that I can access.

A view from the departure terminal through a large window in a cafe. There are aeroplanes parked on the wet tarmac. It's cloudy.
Holiyays!

A black and white photo of the interior of a house. There is a pot plant on top of a long, low box, and light coming through a window that shines across a rug and floor tiles. In the foreground is an acoustic guitar in its case. The lid is open. Also, a small dog bowl.
Jozi, autumn 2025.

When discovered, they pretended that it didn't happen and that they were looking at something on the wall.
I'm not certain if I'll ever love a mirrorless camera. I'm getting used to it, but I'm not enamoured. An optical viewfinder is always on, and I do miss that.
