Face masks in London – but not because of Coronoavirus
Remember that Hong Kong demo I photoed in January and belatedly mentioned here at the end of last month? Well, to remind you about that, and about what a nasty government they were demonstrating...

Five years ago today on the South Bank
Yes, another retro-photo-meander, on May 11th 2015 Photo 1: This doesn’t exactly nail down the date, does it? This could be a headline from any day during the last two decades. False, every time. The...

A shortcut to a Blockbuster photo
I’ve been a bit of a latecomer to the use of shortcuts to favourite photos. Now I find them essential, simply to keep track of where my most favourite photos from long ago times are to be found on my...
View ArticleFeline Twitter dump
I earlier promised a creature-related Twitter dump. It turns out it’s pretty much all cats: Another optical illusion that works on a nonhuman animal. Can cats pass the mirror self-recognition test?...

Quota photo of the BT Tower advertising Follicular Lymphoma
Haven’t had many quota photos here lately, have I? But I am now about to go on what could be a long photo-walk, and don’t want to be worrying about not yet having stuck anything up here. So: Photoed...
