I am now able to do museum quality prints up to A3+ folks! All your faves! Posh Hahnemuhle paper that will last 200 years or something in the right conditions. Let me know if there's anything you fancy.

There's nowhere quite like Dungeness. Did you get the chance to see the sound mirrors at Denge nearby?

Feels great to finally join the lineage of artists that have answered the calling of Dungeness; amongst them John Piper, Eric Ravilious and most famously Derek Jarman

Is entertainment in the 2020s going to just involve spending a small fortune to attend immersive experiences for things which don't need to be immersive? And which most of the time aren't even immersive?

Whilst not a fan of plastics, these 1963 adverts for Plexiglass are fascinating, and only 18 years after the end of WWII. It's hard to appreciate how modern they were at the time.

Some experiments.

Cliff landscape with accompanying text which reads 'I had 36 stitches in my face and neck, lost all my front teeth, a collar bone, and eight ribs crushed.'

Cliff landscape with ruin with accompanying text which reads 'At about 1 o'clock, the candles were all blown out by a rush of wind.'

This is really sad. Sebastìão was one of the first photographers I came across that really got me into it. Genesis remains one of the seminal bodies of photography of our time. Long may his work, photographically and environmentally, continue to inspire us.

Genuine question: how does Portrait of Britain continue to remain relevant when the work seems so similar every year? It's becoming like Taylor Wessing.

I see the Beeb News site continues its flaming hurtle into chat mag territory. I might start printing it out so I can be pointlessly and ineffectually outraged, but with an actual red pen. What a bell-end. Probably delete this later.

A screengrab of an assortment of BBC News 'interest' stories, which I've scrawled sarcastic, faintly misanthropic sad loser comments on.

Always going to happen. They just need to eventually realise that Reform have no real policy besides scrapping Net Zero and scrapping The Woke. They're not going to make sure your bins get collected on time.

Reform are the ultimate protest party. Now they're in positions of authority I can only hope that the press scrutinise them as much as they scrutinise Labour.

A tighter-crop version, which I think works better.

A photograph of a t-junction in the Azorean village of Candelára. The road marking reads STOP in block capitals. To the right there is a red octagonal stop sign, beside a blue rectangular Casa Mortuária sign, then a white circular sign to say that overtaking is permitted, and finally a directional sign for the village.

The ruins of this hotel have become an attraction in of itself, attracting visitors to (on a clear day) get an unrivalled view of the crater and lakes. It's got to the point where organised quad-bike tours of the lake include a stop off at the hotel.

Ryan Trower @ryan-trower.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

Laden with more debt than it could repay, the hotel was closed and was swiftly abandoned. Anything valuable was taken, and every window was smashed. A guard was hired by the islands' government until 2010, when the money for his salary ran out. Since then, it's been open season.

With the Pope dying a day after meeting JD Vance, and with Queen Elizabeth dying two days after meeting Liz Truss, it seems prudent to keep the elderly away from neoliberal conservatives for their own safety.

I went to the Tate Modern yesterday. In the Rothko room with all the Serious Art Connoisseurs there was a ~5 year old kid who walked up to each painting, pointed at it and shouted 'RECTANGLE' at each one in turn, then left the room.
