Thank you so much, Phil! My husband always ribs me about my obsession with light 🤣

From my September series. A long term project of photographing my children with a 5x4 camera using instant film 🖤

A black and white photograph of a girl paddling in a lake - she is looking down at the water. She is wearing a summer dress & the light shines on her hair and water.

That’s lovely & well deserved. I remember Colin Pantall saying you were one of the nicest guys in the photo community & I agree - plus you share some brilliant content too 😊

Definitely not alone 💙💙

I saw a call for volunteers for a

The Language of the Gatekeepers - Maverick Beyond

Words aren’t neutral; they carry power. And in the arts, certain phrases have crept into the lexicon that, once unpacked, reveal just how much they shape inequality, access, and exclusion. #art

This is so interesting Jo & I have so much to say but not enough space to do it here. Need to gather my thoughts.
