Good morning! This is a quick pencil sketch of my hand playing a fancy triple bend on a beaten up old Telecaster with the finest of necks with great grain.

No one can brand a health crisis, can they?

Covid - sounds like a biscuit.

Super flu - gives the impression it's fantastic.

In the past they knew what to do.

The Black Death - no messing.

The Plague - you aren't blasé about catching it.

We need to do better.

According to you know who, I listened to this song more than anyone else this year. I'm not necessarily ashamed of that 😎

This monochrome photo captures a gull in mid-flight against a backdrop of soft, diffused clouds. The image is rendered entirely in shades of black and white, emphasising texture and form over colour, giving it a timeless, dramatic quality. The primary subject, a European herring gull, dominates the frame. It is captured from a low angle, providing a sense of scale and majesty as the bird soars above the viewer. The gull's wings are fully extended, showcasing the intricate structure of its feathers. The primary flight feathers at the tips of the wings are dark, contrasting with the lighter grey of the wing coverts and the bird's body plumage. The trailing edge of the wings and the fanned tail feathers reveal a delicate, scalloped pattern created by the individual feather tips. The head of the bird is turned slightly, presenting a profile view. Its sharp beak and dark eye are clearly visible, conveying a sense of focus and movement. The body is sleek, and the underbelly features subtle dappled markings that add visual interest and depth. The sky occupies the majority of the photograph and serves as a soft, textured canvas for the bird. The clouds are dense and layered, ranging from light, almost white patches to deeper, brooding grey tones. This variation in the cloud cover creates a moody atmosphere, suggesting an overcast day or perhaps an impending change in weather. The lighting is even and soft, which minimizes harsh shadows and allows the fine details of the bird's plumage to be clearly articulated. The left side of the image is largely open, providing significant negative space that balances the composition and directs the viewer's eye towards the subject in flight. The composition is dynamic, with the diagonal lines of the gull's wings creating a strong sense of motion and freedom. The sharpness of the bird contrasts beautifully with the smooth, blurred transitions of the cloudy background, making the gull pop out from its environment. This photograph is a st…

Greatest city in the world?
I've been to quite a few, but there's something about London.
Here's my tribute to the 80s days - not as polished and branded, but maybe that's what made it special.

Oh, man! I was watching a couple of Red-tailed Hawks soaring over Central Park's Conservatory Garden, when a solitary Crow decided to harass them! An aerial duel ensued, and I managed to get this shot of the hawk turning on the crow! 🛩️🛩️🛩️ #Hawks #CentralPark #birding
