That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

The police threatened to arrest me when I was documenting the arrest of pensioners who were holding up pieces of cardboard in support of this group in Parliament Square last year. They said I was “too close”. The photos of those arrested are in our new Rebellion! exhibition.

Larry Towell. “My wife Ann and I had been digging and transplanting lilies from the front of this abandoned farmhouse down the road to where we live. We finished. She was tired and laid in the grass. The house is now gone. The walnut trees have been bulldozed and burned.”

Weston Avenue is one one of those places that people just walk by, because there's no reason to venture down it. A little avenue that's seen better times. I think the police use a nearby school for the fair these days, that's probably down to the cul de sac having tram tracks in front of it.

This is a print of Arthur Spooner's 'Goose Fair, Nottingham' in the cafe at Nottingham Castle. The original painting was completed in 1926 and actually hangs in the main gallery - it's one of my favourite pictures in there. #Nottingham #Photography

A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house. A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it. It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

Kevin in great voice. 3 oldies at the end, The Waltz, Jackie Wilson Said and Geno. Here's a new one one I relate to: 'Old Love'.

The Tish Murtha & Kuba Ryniewicz exhibition at the Baltic is well worth visiting. Very well curated even though I struggled to find any connection between the two. Cute furry animals and poverty/youth unemployment are a strange marriage in any exhibition, and Murtha’s work overwhelmed Ryniewicz’s.
