Manchester life in Squares. St Peter's Square, Albert Square, Exchange Square and Shambles Square, as seen through the lens of my little Ricoh GR.

Princess Parkway, Manchester. I normally use the raw output of the 13 year old Ricoh GR. Today, the JPEGs surprised me. Minimally edited and sharpened in Lightroom; framed in Photoshop.

Under the Mancunian Way. I've started carrying my old Ricoh GR when I'm out and about to get back into the habit of taking more photos with a real camera, even if I'm not planning to.

Russian soldiers recorded a message before an assault near Klishchiivka, claiming around 1,000-1,200 troops had already been lost there. They questioned why they were being sent to fight over ruins and a railway and asked that their regimental commander be prosecuted if they were killed. #Ukraine

I commented on a friends' WhatsApp chat that the final was the world's best team Vs the world's dirtiest. I think that was unkind. It's a theme of our times - the underdog used asymmetry extremely well, and could have edged it. Especially if they'd managed to force the game to penalties.

The silver lining? The Borough of Trafford voted sensibly while much of the rest of the country lost its mind. The cloud? The bit of Trafford where I live, Old Trafford, is likely about to be twinned with Khan Younis. We have a Green councillor who will be of little use to Old Trafford or Palestine.

The Old Wellington, Shambles Square, Manchester. Taken while checking if the old Ricoh GR still works (which it does). O happened to have snap (zone) focus enabled and set to 2.5 meters when I took this, so everything from 2 metres is in focus.
