Whilst this might not look like your obvious #mountainmonday shot, it was taken atop Table Mountain in Cape Town. One of my favourite photos that I took with my #Polaroid Spectra (RIP). #Photography #FilmPhotography #InstantPhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin

Happy Father's Day To all the dads who bother. I had a dad who didn't and then one who couldn't - my mother is a control freak. So how to be a dad? Be kind. Be loving. Be true. Be present (it doesn't have to be physically) Be this type of dad that you had, or that you wished you had.

One final piece of #joy for #BlueSkyArtShow This was Molly We were her 3rd owners. She stayed with us until she couldn't stay any longer Despite being an intransigent Beagle, she brought us loads of joy This isn't her at her most joyful-I would have had to chase after her chasing the scent of a hare

For the weekly #BlueSkyArtShow prompt of #joy, which is what I imagine this construction crew must have felt while painting this road.

Had to rethink what I was going to add for today's #BlueSkyArtShow. Just not appropriate at the moment. So, #joy plan B. Nothing fancy, nothing incredible. Just two beautiful souls enjoying playing cards outside one summer's afternoon. #Photography #FilmPhotography #EastCoastKin

Happy Saturday. Happy 14 #MusicByNumbers For me one of the most underrated artists of our time is the great Screamin' Jay Theatre, the macabre and plain old eccentricity, he was there before Bowie, Goths, Bjork et al. This comes from his last set of sessions youtu.be/pHh4e3UZ0_w?... #MusicChallenge

There is one lonely opaque Zine sitting in our Ko-fi, who would like to make this lonely zine happy and re-home it. It doesn't need a lot of looking after, it just needs a bit of love and occasionally looked it. ko-fi.com/s/f2b8a862c9 #photozine #photozines #believeinfilm #azineisforlife
