#AdventCalendar time featuring photos from my print shop - https://petecarr.net/shop/liverpool-sunset-2006/

For 1st Dec I've chosen a classic HDR from 2006. At the time I was big into HDR (High Dynamic Range) #photography, and this photo later became the cover of one my books on it.

It has been one year since I started sharing more openly about my life with severe ME/CFS. I chose to do it through my photography, resulting in my ongoing series ‘Enduring: Life with Severe ME/CFS’. 1/10

Shame they don't support non-binary laptops. Cancelled!
Ace photos. Looks like a fun gig.
#Zanzibar gig back in 2006. Can't remember who unfortunately but it's a place I enjoyed learning how to photograph gigs 20 years ago. Shame to see its closing.

The work is a long-term study of the people of the Lammas Tir Y Gafel eco village & surrounding community in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Limited edition, bag one here - anotherplacepress.bigcartel.com/product/to-b...
Instagram generally panics when another app “steals” their audience. If that app is AI slop generator Sora, how will Instagram respond? AI slop generator called UnReels?

We’re super excited to be working with photographer Amanda Jackson to publish her body of work ’To Build A Home’ as a small photobook.

The work is a long-term study of the people of the Lammas Tir Y Gafel eco village & surrounding community in Pembrokeshire, Wales.

Pre-orders very soon folks! 👀🔥
Can you imagine that? If artists were able to know that basic bills were covered and then make art, especially public art? Transformative.

Wonderful weekend at @orielcolwyn.bsky.social for Northern Eye festival. Lovely to get to know Peter Caton & his long term work in South Sudan, and Kyle McDougall. My highlight though was the talk and work of Margaret Mitchel, including An Ordinary Eden.

This weeks #HelloComputer is delayed due to commercial work taking priority. Sorry folks. It's become quite the busy week.

I've written nearly 3,000 words on taking part in a mass skinny dip event. It's quite the piece. Should be out for Sunday.

Curious? pete.news to sign up.

QM2 in Liverpool from a drone - The Cunard's QM2 docked against the Liverpool skyline as the sun comes up. I used to need a helicopter for this work, now a tiny drone can do it.

I've spent months trying to make my Wordpress site work without moving up to a 2x more expensive hosting plan. Nothing I've done has worked. In a way, a local WP CMS that built an #11ty site might be a good option. Making more money would be another...
Lovely start to autumn. Low tide and the Mersey Pilot boat is just heading out. #Photography #Drone
"Autumn equinox" - A little wander this morning. I overslept so missed the usual dip but the walk still did me good.
