Pic(s) of the Weeks

Despite doing a ton of portrait shots this week, the only image I’m able to share are a couple of snaps of my cats.

Very much a people centric week of photography with a chance for dinner with friends & family. Restaurant lighting isn’t usually the best for taking pictures but where we were sitting was really great and got a couple of nice shots like the one above. This week I also had a chance to do some … Read morePic(s) of the Week 2023-05-18

This Saturday saw the coronation of the latest parasite to sit on the throne. As I would rather nail my manhood to a table than watch it I went in the Market Square to photograph what Nottingham was up to as this supposedly historical moment took place. In general, people were going about their ordinary … Read morePic(s) of the Week 2023-05-11

This week saw another fascist demonstration and counter-demonstration, this time in Skegness. This time around, our counter-protest was of a musical nature, with a group of singers from Louth singing tunes of resistance and hope as the racists walked by (featured image). The fascists were the usual mixture of thugs and morons led by some … Read morePic(s) Of The Week 2023-05-04

A busy week with two counter-protests against the far-right in Lincoln and Long Eaton so I’ve decided to feature a busker I spotted while out on my lunch. The sun was incredibly bright casting deep, dark shadows just where the busker sat. On Saturday I was in Lincoln for the counter-protest and then in Long … Read morePic(s) of the Week 2023-04-27

This week has been a people and portraiture, which is an area of photography I love. The shot above wasn’t a formal shot, I just snapped it as one of staff at the Village Launch Day was just standing around. Everything about the shot is pleasing – the light, the physique of the subject, the … Read morePic(s) of the Week 2023-04-20

It’s that time of year where the weather is extremely changeable, flipping from torrential downpour to glorious sunlight often in minutes. It is also the Easter break from college so things have slowed down a bit as I catch up with other projects and some of the written work for the degree. That has meant … Read morePic(s) of the Week 2023-04-06

For the last two or three weeks I’ve haven’t at my best photography-wise. I wasn’t taking bad photos but I wasn’t getting anything which excited me. This partly comes down to the nature of what I’ve been photographing has been largely dictated by my journalistic work it’s need for a more documentary approach. However this … Read morePic(s) Of The Week 2023-03-23

Pretty slim pickings this week as I hadn’t any events to cover other than a few picket lines and other commitments have kept me away from going out just hunting for photos. It’s also been either raining or overcast all week so there’s not been much light to work with. What I have been doing … Read morePic(s) Of The Week 2023-03-16

After a couple of very busy weeks with protests, this week has been a lot slower. Which is great because it allows me a chance to catch up with other work but my choice of photos is rather thin this week. The featured image is of Brian in the snow. We’ve had 24 hours of … Read morePic(s) Of The Week 2023-03-09

Its a demanding week with fascists and being attacked as well as marches for Ukraine and the NEU. Consequently my focus hasn’t been on the joy of photography but its function so rather than focus on the unpleasantness I’ve encountered this Pic(s) of the Week is all positive. Maybe not my best photos but the … Read morePic(s) Of The Week 2023-03-02

A busy week with around 250 photos taken on Friday, 1200 photos taken on Saturday and the usual opportunistic shots as I wander around. Such as the featured image above. A couple of young cyclists were practicing their tricks in the Market Square. The light was good so I stopped and spoke to them before … Read morePic(s) of the Week 2023-02-23
