Today’s walk with a phone through early springtime countryside in Germany, surrounded by the calls of woodpeckers and nuthatches. It’s been one of the most wearying winters I can remember. And how we all need this renewal.

Last weekend, I went to the Musée de la Photographie in Charleroi. What a treat! Took in the temporary exhibitions by Gregory Crewsden and Cyril Albrecht before being humbled by some of the world’s most famous images…

Some images from 2018 when I was getting to know my new (old) Hasselblad. I was already a fan of square format. It was becoming an expensive indulgence then, more so now. Unsurprisingly, I use digital for commissions and am very happy with that.

Looking forward to visiting Berlin in a week and a half’s time. We’ll see if I can add to these images from 2017!

Documenting #Caergybi #Holyhead can be bittersweet… Seeing former Irene Edwards fishmonger’s repainted as part of a high street improvement feels like losing an important part of the town’s history.
