From a visit to the preserved Laxon army camp at Älvkarleby, in the north of Upsalla county, Sweden, I am not sure when the photo was taken but my best bet would be the 1930s. Nice to see the image on open display in the street with a short, very Swedish, explanation in English.

Mainly my photographic art, there will be unclothed people. Appreciator of the beauty in diversity.

Some more photos from today's Brighton Pride parade 🏳️🌈😀 Other supermarkets are available - and were also out there reflecting the more commercial aspects of the event, just not as much fun as LIDL! #BrightonPride #BrightonPride2026

Today is Brighton Pride, a few photos with my ‘proper’ camera may arrive later but here’s some I quickly grabbed with my phone that have a sense of place! #BrightonPride

One year ago #onthisday Almost the last occasion when I engaged in nude self portraiture with a view to creating something artful, at 68 years old (then) I feel that I was running out of ideas! I've not stopped posting the occasional naked mirror selfie but the tripod has been gathering dust! 😅
A view of Glengarry, Scotland 12 years ago, getting stuck in a total jam on the A9 trunk road through Perth & Kinross had its upside. #onthisday #landscapephotography #loch #highlands #scenic #photography

Combined with the visit to Deer Shed Festival in 2019 was a few days in and around Hawes, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. #onthisday #monochrome #landscape #english
In 2011 Wayne Hemingway centred his Vintage Festival at the Festival Hall on London's South Bank. I was invited along to take photos of in full unposed candid street photography mode, shooting first, taking questions afterwards. If observed... 🤫😉 #streetphotography #onthisday

There was a time when I worked as a professional photographer and had an assistant who was kind enough to allow a shoot with E. to move into the loft. The skies were very dark and there was a single skylight and that was the only light used in creating this image. #nude #photography 📷
I have a pond in the garden - frogs do their stuff every year and froglets emerge. Tonight they and mummy / daddy are all feeling very brave!

I guess I was a relatively earlier adopter at bluesky. I just reposted without comment something from 2024 thinking it was one of my first posts but I find it was in fact over a year in! Anyway, I just wanted to see how reposting like in that way worked.
Mirror selfie (2022) It was not exactly the impromptu sort of shot one gets on a mobile phone. But it was, sort of. #Nudeportrait #Self #Monochrome #Photography #MaleNude #NudeArt
The Singing Ringing Tree As a child in the 60s I would watch this rather scary children's fable (in black and white) every time the BBC repeated it. It gave me nightmares and probably contributed to my later love for the work of David Lynch. Deserves its cult status. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPFX...

Budapest hotel (2018) A mirror self portrait, the macabre skull like effect is 'straight out of the camera' and was caused by layers of reflection of flock wallpaper on the shower screen. I doubt that I could ever reproduce this! #selfportrait #photography #monochrome #nude #naked #male #artnude
Moving on to the final day of the Latitude Festival three years ago today. Very probably our final Latitude - a fine line up but just too commercial now. On stage, in order, more in ALT tags: Gwenno LYR (Simon Armitage) Souxsie George Ezra Black Midi Creep Show #onthisday #livemusic #photography
