Excited to share that my photo placed third 🥉 in the Trees, Woods, and Forests category of the International Garden Photographer of the Year competition! @igpoty It’s now on display at Kew Gardens and travels the country as part of an exhibition this year! Cool 😎
On the one hand we have some of the best of us exploring further than any have ever gone together for humanity, and on the other some of the most despicable depraved individuals causing unimaginable harm and suffering across the world 🤷♂️🙄🤦
So if other countries can cut their fuel duty in light of this Iran US conflict (it’s true, go look it up) why doesn’t the UK?
They must be making millions off us at the pumps for a start.

Many of you will have noticed that last year, the UK leg of “Songs the World Will Never Hear” raised over £100K for Medecins Sans Frontieres, by giving away the proceeds of hundreds of VIP seats.
For the Australian leg of the tour, we decided we would raise money for various Women and Family Shelters and other organisations in the Domestic Violence space.
And I am very proud to finally share that the total amount was pretty damned close to $300,000.00. (We topped it up cos I like round numbers).
This allows us to donate $50K to each of these fantastic organisations:
#SecondChance
#CatherineHouse
#TooraWomen
#DeservingBetter
#WomensCommunityShelter
#NovaForWomenAndChildren
As I toured around, I had the opportunity to meet and chat with the extraordinary people providing these - sadly vital - services.
Domestic Violence is a fucking scourge, one we need to attack from all directions. Please look up these organisations if you feel you’d like to contribute, and let us dream of (and work towards) a society in which they are redundant.

BREAKING NEWS: Found not just one but two new pockets in my jacket. I’ve had this coat for a couple of years.
Keep following as more exciting but totally normal things get discovered by me.
Watched the recent series of Black Mirror on Netflix. Somewhat ironic the episode ‘common people’ focusing on a service that increases prices for the most basic cover, adds adverts to the cheapest package, on a streaming service that does exactly the same thing…
Obviously the Christmas decorations are right at the back of the attic. Behind endless stacks of boxes… (here’s me putting them away last year)
The two I never got in my youth. And now the collection is complete*
*I know about Alph Art the final adventure. The sketches are a beautiful glimpse of Hergé’s process and a potentially complex story. It remains unfinished.
Funny how even after all these years it’s the closing scene of a British comedy from the 80s that’s perhaps the most memorable and poignant of the futility of trench warfare in WW1
Hospital car parking companies: Which level of hell do they inhabit again? Wouldn’t want to insult vultures
Just found out one of my shots was finalist in World Sports Photography Awards (@WorldSportsPix) - didn’t get an email, just found it looking at past winners! Pretty cool to be with other awesome photographers…Anyway, here’s the shot: a dreamy morning at @henleyroyalregatta
I guess it just shows the state of the economy when it’s cheaper for an inventor to build a rocket with his dog and go to the moon for more cheese, rather than pop to the shops down the road.
