There are times to pick up a camera, not for the sake of a photograph, but to get some space. Focus on what matters to you. Stay awesome.

You’re not “too old” to change. You’re finally old enough to understand what needs to change. Your camera can help you focus on what’s important to you and so help you to stay awesome.

A model with long red stiletto nails drops a bright red apple from one hand to the other as she gazes directly at the camera. The apple suspended in mid air. Original photograph by James Walker. Model Jenny from Glasgow. Part of the Bird With Great Nails project #tbwgn since 2022.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about art photography. It’s something I’ve really let slide, especially The Bird With Great Nails project #tbwgn. The famous middle finger communication is the hook & entry point to a series featuring great nail art. I’m really looking forward to getting going again.

I love discovering interesting new places. Travelling for work often takes me into corners I’d probably not find on my own. I didn’t even have my passport with me when I found myself in Rhodesia, I had to stop and be sure. Thankfully I was not eaten by a lion.

And with some sunshine added!

@curatorkate.bsky.social hi thanks for the follow. How are you finding Bluesky?

Hello #genealogy and #oneplacestudies enthusiasts. I’ve been interested in helping you out ever since I was visited by a family group from Canada and the USA who traced their family tree back to my house. The mind blowing bit was that they bought it in 1741! Ayrshire. Scotland.

The back end of Storm Bertie. Bye bye.

Let’s see where this adventure takes us. Here’s to meeting new and interesting friends for my #ayrshirefolk project. Yes it is inspired by the epic Humans of New York. We can be just as good…
