No greater betrayal of your humanity than this. Handing over the independence of your mind to a leader. Turning yourself into their slave.

Shoe shine, the market, Campeche, Mexico 5 years ago #onthisday #streetphotography #streetphoto #mexican #streetportrait

@privateeyenews.bsky.social on top form as usual this issue.

Four weeks ago: The ferry to Bilbao takes a route that hugs the Brittany coast for longer than the Santander route. This is off Pointe du Raz, Finistère - Phare de la Vieille and Tourelle de la Plate. #monochrome #photography #iphone14pro #seascape #landscape #bretagne #lighthouse

“Glitch.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Facebook is telling me that 5 years ago today I was in the city of Campeche, Mexico. So I'll post some images here instead... I wandered around alone at night feeling quite safe despite Campeche state being the least visited by tourists. #onthisday #gulfofmexico #nightphotography

A timely moment to remember that Donald Trump dodged the draft & JD Vance wondered a few short years ago whether he would turn out to be 'America's Hitler'...

An epically disgraceful press conference from Vance and Trump with a beleaguered and entirely dignified Zelensky. Vance and Trump shouting at him about gratitude and telling him he’s in a weak position. Fuckawful entitled bullies making a holy show of themselves and their country on the world stage.

Recent developments yielding the same answer have sorted out for the Reform Party whether they are meant to be US patriots or Russian patriots. UK patriotism is obviously ruled out because both King and HM Government support that comedian Zelenskyy.

It is unfortunate that Zelensky has to deal with a vengeful child. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E...

Our campsite in Spain. Now why would a random cat be sitting in the sink? We don’t have this behaviour with the cat at home but I figured it out…

Mrs H., today. ❤️ If you see this, post something red.

Arrived in Zaragoza today and spotted this statue of Augustus Caesar demonstrating to Musk apologists what a Roman salute actually looks like.

Finally, a political movement we're confident EVERYONE can get behind. Right? RIGHT? Get yours HERE >>> https://buff.ly/3WIUaq0

Oops! I'm spending too much time processing images, getting them on my website, not posting here. My site was once a home to my professional photography but now it's very different, my own personal photo archive if you will - the colour there reflects that. But here B&W, from Yanaka Cemetery, Tokyo.

Umbrellas of Akita I was a little disappointed to travel 350 miles by train to spend a day in persistent if light rain in Akita. I consoled myself in that Tokyo was facing a deluge, and no fall colours there! #photography #rainyday #fallcolours #autumn #Japan #Tohuku

Yes, let it be him! Musk is smiling because he knows that no one is coming back. #inauguration

My last post was a link to my photos from my first day in Tokyo when at least in the morning I felt part of the tourist pollution referred to in this article, which is newly published today. And yes, Tokyo is a cheap place to visit, probably half London prices. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I've got around to processing images from the nine nights in Japan last Autumn. The first couple of days in Tokyo can be accessed through this photo link. I wonder whether the pale blue shirts indicate business uniformity or a business uniform? #streetphotography www.scottyh.com/Photo-archiv...

Cool or what? I am talking about that VW of course 😅, but I’m pleased she responded perfectly, not sure about him! At the Vintage Car Boot Sale on London's South Bank, 2011. Tri X Film, Pentax MX with 50mm f1.4 lens. #FilmPhotography #StreetPhotography #MonoChrome #StreetPhoto #Photography

New Year in Lille It’s 2017, and like so many places on New Year’s Eve it all seems relatively quiet. I don’t mind that! The weather as it is in the UK tonight I’ll be tucked up early. Wherever you are, if you’re out or not, enjoy yourselves now because 2025 is coming! #Photography #Monochrome

We went out to the Knepp Estate in West Sussex today, took in a 11km walk encountering a lot of mud (the photo was way off the worst), a fair bit of water, longhorn & regular cattle, deer, Exmoor ponies and even storks. But the only animal you'll see is little doggie Darla. 🐾 #landscapephotography

In a bid to put himself and the Tories on the same planet as Elon Musk, Andrew Griffiths says we have a ‘very far left socialist government’ in the.UK… Whatever planet it is, it is not this one.

@theguardian.com Already updated ( I checked) and nothing’s changed…. But then I like this old layout and don’t really want yet another .pdf newsletter!

Usual unpredictable output from Spotify leaves me asking, who is Oscar Browne?

“One small step for moving forward One giant leap for civilisation” A urinal in People’s Park Shanghai. I am not sure what it meant but I am guessing that China would be over the moon if I got up close! #documentaryphotography #EditorialPhotography #ToiletHumour

Electric Town, Tokyo The same buildings are most often seen at night but for some reason when I was staying there overnight lots of the lights were turned off. Fortunately the streets of Akihabara can be equally vibrant during the day. #Architecture #Japan #iPhone 14Pro

I was a little surprised to find that human pulled tickshaws are still a thing in Tokyo - but this was super touristy Asakusa! #travelphotography #corny #Japan

A final photo from Kawagoe before returning to Tokyo and discovering the far bigger lit up mega-towers of Ikebukuro. The photos sandwiched a first visit in Japan to a sushi restaurant. I may have passed on the striped horse… #Japan #StreetPhotography #NightPhotography #IPhoneography #iPhone14Pro
