I’m not one for idoling in front of the TV, if there is a show sweeping the nation or a decent film on release, then I may be tempted to sit and watch. But after working on the laptop during the course of the day in the day job, my idea of relaxing - when I’m not taking photos - is reading a book.

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.

Whilst I am one to (try and) consciously avoid GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), there are instances when this allows you to look at the same thing in a different light, to give a fresh perspective.
I say this as this is something that I had endured in the past. Chasing camera brands, lens, tripods, £££$$$!
