Photo of a sculpture of a bird with feathers styled as keyboards, at night in an illuminated garden with a woman standing under it looking up at it.

Good to see that Banksy’s Blinded by the Flag is still on its plinth outside The Athenaeum Club in London. #iPhone14Pro #monochrome #streetart #sculpture #political

Monochrome photo of a Banksy sculpture depicting a man marching forward off a plinth while carrying a large, billowing flag that obscures his face, his vision, so heading for a fall.

There's now a black and white film in the Instax Square and this is the first attempt at a serious photo. This is Smithfield Market, London. I've no idea what the shutter speed might have been but this was hand held. #instaxsquare #instaxSQ6 #monochrome #FujifilmInstax #photography #analog

Newlyn Old Harbour, September 2026 - Pentax ME Super with Pentax M 35mm f2 lens and Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film - expired 2019. The look engendered in the aged film complementing the aged scene. #filmphotography #cornwall #analogphotography #vintage #fishing #boats #sail #pentax

A colour photo, not sepia although it has something of that look, taken in an old fishing harbour in Cornwall with old twin masted sailing fishing boat in the foreground, houses of Newlyn village in the background.

More from Hove Seafront on Thursday - Pentax ME Super with Pentax M 35mm f2 lens. And Kodak Ektar 100 colour negative film - expired in 2019 with no special storage. I was expecting some aberation, but such strong warm brown tones were an interesting surprise. #expiredfilm #filmphotography

I took out the Intax Square today for a first foray into Brighton. Well Hove actually, for this is the Lagoon. Learning point here is how it's REALLY difficult to get the verticals right in that tiny viewfinder! #instaxsquare #instaxSQ6 #HoveLagoon #streetart #FujifilmInstax #photography

I put 9 year expired Kodak Tri-X 400 film into a 1990's Ricoh 35ZF, mainly to see if both still worked. Seems to. This is a newish footbridge across the Lewes Road on the University of Brighton, Moulsecoomb campus. #monochrome #architecture #film #TriX #streetphoto #streetphotography

Pay Me in Light At End of the Road festival are many artworks on display, some installed for the festival and others always in place, eg the bust on the column. I'm unsure of the status of the many poems written on stands that were in place around Larmer Gardens. #EOTR2026 #photography #art #poetry

A poem "Pay Me In Light" by Carol Ann Duffy is set out in full on a stand in a bushy garden and in the background on a column is something that looks like the head of a Greek god.

Yesterday we went to Birling Gap and I took my Ricoh Caplio GX100 which must now be about 18 years old. Still works! We once stayed in those cottages for Xmas, only 4 left now, there used to be at least 8... #landscape #photography #SouthDownsNationalPark #SevenSisters #monochrome #coastal #erosion

NEW Why holding a placard is a terrorist act, while causing disruption in a balaclava is not The mess caused by ministers and the police not taking terrorism law seriously By me at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Recent events in England now reveal the practical difference between terrorists and protesters. It would seem that terrorists peacefully hold placards and get immediately arrested, while protesters wear black uniforms and balaclavas and disrupt infrastructure and do not get arrested.

How did we get into this mess? How have we placed ourselves in the position where terrorism legislation is used to detain and prosecute peaceful protesters, while those adopting the terror tactics of private armies seem to be free to do as they wish?

The reason is that for some time British politicians have not taken terrorism legislation seriously, and that ministers have got into the habit of misusing terror laws for easy targets.

Driverless or otherwise, and this is the perspective I come from, if we all shared cars as we do say Lime bikes, then I'd simply not think of them as taxis. May be weird but I'm somebody who almost always walks or travels by bus or train - and do almost anything to avoid getting a taxi!

000

Scotty H. @scottyh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Well yes, I understand, but if it ever happens I'd certainly think of it as sharing in a driverless car pool.

101

Scotty H. @scottyh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It’s a step on from driverless taxis but I share the sentiment. Interestingly there is no sign, as far as I know, of a move towards driverless electric car sharing in China - they seem to be laser focused on giving us the cars we want.

With probably 15,000 at the Pulp gig you can tell how close we did not get. Still great sound and Jarvis Cocker sporting a corduroy jacket. Superb! #livemusic #EOTR #EOTR2026 #musicphotography

A few snaps on the phone from this last weekend’s End of the Road festival, the seventh I’ve attended. Photos of some of the terrific music artists I saw from my proper camera will inevitably follow!

Scotty H. @scottyh.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

And the second film I’ve put through the camera. I am beginning to get the hang of it, the tiny waist level viewfinder is particularly tricky as is dealing with max shutter speed 1/75 and aperture f7.7….
