Making an extremely rare appearance on the Hellsite because I thought I'd check where the #photography community is emigrating to. Is Mastodon still the main destination or are folks jumping on Bluesky?

UPDATE: Developers have lodged an appeal with the Secretary of State, in an attempt to overturn the decision to reject plans for the total demolition of The Point in Milton Keynes. C20 has formally restated our objections to the scheme: There's ample opportunity to redevelop 60% of the site for housing and leisure, while retaining and reusing the iconic pyramid structure (BDP, 1985).

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Milton Keynes councillors have voted unanimously to save The Point from demolition. Long live the great ziggurat of Buckinghamshire! Designed by BDP in 1985, Britain’s first multiplex cinema was on C20’s Risk List and we now hope to see it incorporated into any revised development scheme for the site. c20society.org.uk/buildings-at-r…

Well, wow. Looks like it's been almost 2 years since I've been active here. I almost forgot this account existed! Suppose that's what happens when you have a child and the first two years go with the blink of an eye. What have I missed?

I've said it before and I'll day it again: the One More Stop server is a fantastic community and one that shows incredible levels of generosity of each other. I myself mentioned about half-frame and today I received this wonderful gift and I'm genuinely touched.

Pentax announcing that they are kickstarting a film camera project with a stated roadmap beginning at a p&s and ending at a fully mechanical SLR is not something I had on my 2022 bingo card. #believeinfilm dpreview.com/news/561188776…

@Antihippy And it is going to backfire horribly because a lot of the younger nurses that have been entering the profession in the past 3 to 5 years are very militant and won't just take it like previous generations of nurses. The govt is dealing with the post-2008 crisis generation.

They're not the miners. Labour are fully on board with this approach.

@thehistoryguy And it's not like it was looking particularly good in Moscow either by that stage.

Poor choice of headline aside, Fan Ho was a fantastic photographer and it's probably because of him that the whole abstract minimalist bow street photography is a thing.

@shotbyshaun Granted the title seems to quote someone else, they could have chosen a different title. Especially given, you know, that the photography of HCB and Fan Ho is completely different. Either the editor is lazy or is ignorant.

It's all about the Three Lions until the music stop and then we turn against the brown folks. It's uncanny how football mirrors British society.

Harry Kane completely fucked that penalty but I bet you the media and the English (read male, white) pub commentariat will still find a way to blame the likes of Saka, Rashford or Bellingham. Apparently it's always the brown boys' fault even when it's the white guy that fucks up.

@wulfrunian40 @jburnmurdoch Or the classic NI football song on the notes of The Battle Hymn of the Republic which has the verse and chorus section of "They're the greatest little country the world has ever seen and this is what we said! We're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland but it's all the same to me".

For my non-English followers: your biennial reminder that “It’s coming home” is not about England arrogantly expecting to win. It’s about England being a constant disappointment, so fans are left to dream. Like people who think “Born in the USA” is about how great America is 😆

For the first time in almost 12 years living in England I've not been a passive observer and now actually hope they beat the French. But this may be the Italian in me with ITA-FRA unresolved football trauma. In any case, this is a very tasty game!
