A few years ago I began a documentary photography project on East Cliff in Whitby. There’s an overlook that has become the place where memorials and love locks are placed and I’ve been documenting it’s evolution and seasons. It’s a long term project and here are some of my winter/Christmas Day shots

Family portrait of the Aylesbury peregrines and their three eggs! A fascinating pair to watch. Let’s hope all eggs are viable this year 🤞
RIP pigeon.

These books help explain why the Eggs sound like we do. The gentle psychedelic surrealism of Brautigan vs the raw gritty punk rock of Bukowski. Both astoundingly original fresh poetic writers. Join our Eggs book club on Facebook to discuss shit like this and share the books you love. See you there X

‘Brothers’ Fish Shop, Commercial Road’ 2002. Used to frequently pass this on way to Watney Market during the 80’s and 90’s but never tempted to venture in to buy anything. I’m not a vegetarian but the sight of those eyes………. Didn’t paint the facade until closed- hypocritical, I know. #art #painting

Rachel Reeves holds newts in contempt, it seems.
So I thought I'd post this glorious painting of a "lion of the duckweed" by Jackie Morris + my paean to these "kings of the pond", both from The Lost Words.
Newt-lovers, unite!

‘Launderette’ 2022. Still a frequent sight in the back streets of east London. This launderette in Forest Gate gets a bit more dilapidated each year but maintains dignity. The pillars have recently been painted grey to enhance its appearance although the lettering continues to disintegrate 😊 #art

God help me I drunkenly went to the local small town Faceache group and interacted with Musk apologists.
You can take a cunt to water but you can’t make it think.

Cor!! An outstanding book haul from the Oxfam today!
Delighted to find The Night Of The Hunter, being one of my favourite films I have shamefully not yet read the book. No more! Shame be gone!
The Philip K Dick perhaps a little too prescient at the moment…
