A gravel ride this morning through the maze of Clocaenog Forest then Brenig and Alwen before back into the forest. The scent of forest fresh clean air and surrounded by butterflies. Utterly brilliant 🚴🏼 #cycling #northwales

This mornings commute, down from the hills and along the estuary. #cycling #northwales

New bike day!!! Only a day late (thanks UPS) #cycling #canyonbikes

Picked up a little friendly trail dog tonight. Followed me for a few miles and wouldn’t go home. Thought I’d have to retrace my tracks to get him home. Then he ran off! #cycling #mtb

Everything is so dry and dusty. Please don’t rain. 😎 #cycling #northwales #mtb

Still smouldering up on the mountain. ⛰️ 🔥

Hahahahaha. Well said Wayne!!!!

Whalefall. Took longer than an hour to read it. #books

A couple of scenes from a wander through the back streets of Liverpool. Nothing polished—just worn brick, tired shutters, scuffed pavements the people that give the city its character. Street scenes exactly as they are. #analogue #pentax645 #ilfordhp5plus #mediumformatphotography #bnw #believeinfilm

An interesting read about the treacherous stretch of water and the land on either side. #wales #ireland #books #history

Some frames from a shoot with actor Alexander. #portrait

Doors. #mediumformat #portrait #blackandwhitephotography #believeinfilm

Another roll through the Pentax 645 this morning on walk with the dog. I’m clicking the shutter more. Auto wind & 15 frames/roll helps. This camera feels & acts like a medium format 35mm. This is exactly why I bought this camera. #photography #mediumformat #hp5 #believeinfilm #pentax #analogue

A series of 4 shots from a shoot with Etienne featuring some street art around Chester in 2021. #analogue #ilfordhp5 #mamiyarz67 #mediumformatphotography #graffiti

I’m not staying up for the USA v Belgium game but I will be cheering on Belgium in my sleep ⚽️

Plenty of hype for this but I’m underwhelmed after the initial introduction to the twins, but they left…

Hangin’ around. #portrait #skinhead #pentax645 #FP4 #believeinfilm

England fans booing. Yes, it’s that bad.

In the darkroom making prints from the first roll through the Pentax 645. Straight up No.2 filter and it’s got that sooty like look I was hoping for 👌🏼 #photography

Just finished. Taking much influence from what’s happening right now in many places but not here…. Yet? #books

Poor fella, cooler today😎 #blacklab

A few portraits from cooler days.

"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." #Booksky

Street portraits in shady flat light. Not like this horrendously bright spotlight that’s great for sun lovers.
