This is a bee I found under my sofa. She had some honey and was on her way

I made a new years resolution to be more online, and so far it is not going well!

A wall in two lights #photography #film

The shadow of a street lamp on a cinder block wall. The edge of the shadow is greenish and fuzzy.

The shadow of shrubbery on a cinder block wall. A drainpipe cuts the frame, the same color as the shadow

An analog photograph of the English Channel as seen from the train. The horizon is sharp but the waves are blurred by the speed of the train. The sea is dark, scattered by rain and cloud-broken light.

Good talk good book! (I assume, I’ve read about 10 pages)

Photo of Robert Macfarlane and Horatio Clare on stage at the book launch of “Is a River Alive?” They are very far away because Duncan (photographer) is sitting in the nosebleeds

This is what the water in the new forest looks like.

First frame of a new roll of film. I climbed out my window to take the throwaway shots and wound up with this. I know it’s cliche to keep the burn line but I like that the color of it matches the color of the chimneys #photography #film

Analog photograph, half cut-off by burn line, of eleven chimneys in front of a big blue sky

Another cmyk screenprint, this time of a photograph I took at Aldwick Bay, near Bognor Regis. Those three green clumps are sea kale. Whenever I tell anyone I went to Bognor Regis they look concerned and ask me why, but I thought it was nice #cmyk #photography #screenprinting #bognor #westsussex

A cmyk screenprint of a photograph of a pebble beach. There are three tufts of sea kale growing on the otherwise empty beach. The pebbles are yellow-orange and the sea kale is green and the sea is green and the sky is blue and flecked with clouds.

duncanpetrie.com/sancho is something I finished today. It’s a weird little webpage that spits out a new bunch of Sancho Panza’s proverbs every time you refresh

This is a place called Harrington Beach. I think I could have framed the first one a little wider. I’m trying to learn to give my photos more room to breathe - my inclination is always to shoot as tight as possible, but I often end up regretting it #photography #wisconsin

Here are some things that I saw by the beach

Wooden posts in the sand on a Lake Michigan beach in January.

This is the first ‘sunrise’ of 2025, and some lights that I saw on the walk to it. #photography #horizon #milwaukee

These are the bluest skies I have. They’re from my photobook “To Pigeon-Fill the Sky”, which is about creativity (good), pigeons (good), and AI (bad) duncanpetrie.com/pigeon #photography #landscape #sky #london #photobook

A very blue sky between two trees. Regents Park, London.

A very blue sky behind a warning sign on Pagham Beach, West Sussex.

A very blue sky behind two chimneys and the top of a tree in London.
