British Photographer about to publish the world's first Photographer's Grimoire: https://www.edwardthompson.co.uk/thephotographersgrimoire
I had a real life troll come and get me while at the book fair I did in Cardiff! It was great. Here we go.... A fan of my work, Joao, kindly organised for me to do a talk at a Photo Gallery. I don't get asked to do stuff like that. I felt very honoured to be asked and to have someone help me
No sense holding anything back anymore, so here we go youtu.be/RNSsSQ79Xqc

Well! Barry Adamson is a fan of the book! Followed me off a Reel on Instagram! Whaaaat!? www.kickstarter.com/projects/gad...
Is it true that the British Journal of Photography are cancelling their print edition?
How is it photoland press can believe in conceptual photography but not synchronicity? I mean, come on, if you've photographed for a little while you get synchronicity... Right? Any leads on photoland press that might cover my Photographer's Grimoire
Padme: RIGHT?

50% funded in 12 hours! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gad... Still no formal press lined up, I will try and reach out again tomorrow. You'd think at least the Photoland would be interested in a ground breaking book on photography as magic?

Impossible trying to workout WTF people click on for 'Photo YouTube' videos. AI slop seems to work for most of them! So here's my A/B test for this coming weeks video Which one would you click on? If you have better suggestions I'm all ears. Below I will paste the AI thumbnails YT made 🤮

Almost like some kind of... what would you call it? photo...book?
I wonder how long till the 'Photo Youtubers' notice my punctum/synchronicity stuff and start trying to rip me off like they do with my other popular videos? Come on lads, cross the veil, try it, I double dare you. Go on you silhouette shooting street sickos ;) youtu.be/Q4JbZlsQavg

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.
In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

After banning CNN, MS NOW & Politico from the White House, he installs State-Run television, just like they have in so many other countries... Sieg Heil, ya'll. #38Days 🌊

Willard Foxton@willardfoxton.bsky.social · last mo.I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.
A little game of 'spot the punctum' anyone? Don't worry its SFW, even though it doesn't sound like it is. youtu.be/Dle-yFlxD4U

I thought about reaching out to some of the authors I've photographed over the years about The Photographer's Grimoire. Although I'm not sure that the author of Horrid Henry will dig it. Then again maybe she will? What about Anthony Browne? Do you think he's a fan of the Occult?

I mean, thanks to the algorithm it means nothing. YouTube is like Instagram in the way they put the screws on you and the organic reach you get to your own folllowers/subscribers. But still. Thanks for subscribing to my channel! youtube.com/@picturesonm...
