<del>U Should Not be doing that<del>, Oh yes you should.

From My Lens July 19, 2025

I haven’t been been out for quite some time, have been a bit busy at work and it’s nice to just chill and relax in the house, now that the builders have all left. But today I decided to pop out into town to shoot some film.

Classic indecision, meant that I was packed up like a Sherpa going up Mount Everest, carrying the Pentax 67, FujicaGS645s I’m the delightful Minolta X500.

Happenstance delivered today where I stumbled across a Transgender March. As I wasn’t too tired, I was quite active getting some street portraits, approaching folk. But the photo used at the top of this blog post. The person on the left. Thought I may have been a Daily Mail photographer.

FFS.

I did have a chuckle to myself and think: 1) I’m a 53-year-old dad of two, I think I need to modernise some of my wardrobe, 2) am I near the autumn of the street photography journey that I’m on? I don’t fancy much being pointed out as a right wing broadsheet tabloid photographer, as the hair turns a bit more grey?

Take it to the streets………..

From My Lens August 23, 2020

……………….. a saying people often use to encourage protest.

Last Saturday, whilst I was passing through Brighton, I came across a protest about #BLM (Black Lives Matter).

This was the 3rd protest that has happened locally, since the savage murder of George Floyd.

It’s not only the amount, but also the diversity of the protesters that seems to grow each time.
