Whitley Bay beach. One of my favourites from our recent trip to the north-east.
Trying to capture the movement in the trees with multiple exposures.
A trip to Southwold this week.
I've never really done much portrait photography, but I had a go this week.

Yes. You want to support musicians? BUY their work. Buy their merchandise. They need money to live! Streaming gives them almost no money! Musicians make more awesome music for you when they aren't literally starving!
I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.
Who would have foreseen that by effectively stealing music from artists by stopping paying out on songs that have less than 1000 streams in the past 12 months would result in a first ever annual profit for Spotify?

Finished DuoLingo French the other day, so now I've started on Russian. It might be useful, the way things are going.
First use this winter of the heated footrest. Writing is so rock'n'roll.
Out on Orford Ness last week, getting insights into the work of the rangers. I didn't have a camera with me, so just this phone shot.

Quite a lot of years go now I wrote a little book that did stupidly well... For the entire summer of 2011 it sat right at the top of the charts in the UK, and ended up being the 26th bestselling title of the year according to The Bookseller. It's 99p now, just coz.
