@GroomB From the book Northern England 1983 – 1986. Review here: photomonitor.co.uk/book/northern-…

Steep Street, Blackburn, Lancashire, 1985, by Michael Kenna, Widnes-born photographer.

@TomSeymour Precisely the opposite.

@simonbowcock the oracle speaks...

Joe Rogan podcasts - full of misinformation and conspiracy theories or brilliant media beyond the mainstream? I have literally never listened to any Joe Rogan content. Should I give it a go?

@jjcharlesworth_ I’m surprised you haven’t already started a Marlowe cancellation campaign.

Should I carry on?

As Jeeves & Wooster is censored by @PenguinBooks, I'm rereading Chandler's great 1944 Philip Marlowe story 'The Lady in the Lake'. In the first page Marlowe refers to one woman as a 'neat little blonde', and another as a 'light-haired lovely'. /

I’ve written many pieces for @Photomonitor, and enjoyed doing every single one - a million thanks to Christiane. Here’s what looks like my last from @TPGallery photomonitor.co.uk/exhibition/for…

An intriguing, dark presence and time standing still in long exposures - me for @Photomonitor on Michael Kenna’s Northern England @nazraelipress photomonitor.co.uk/book/northern-…

@ARmckay82 Your musical taste is as impressive as your podcasting.

I has this on endless rotation for the latter half of 1999. SFA were a truly great band, weird Welsh eccentrics and all the better for it. youtu.be/Djto0wzCefY

Manchester is hell: W.G. Sebald's unforgettable portrait of our city. A great read by @simonbowcock, edited by @SophEAtkinson. manchestermill.co.uk/p/manchester-i… (members only 🔒)

Mystery and erasure. My review of the excellent 'She Appeared to Vanish' at @WatersideArts and @HOME_mcr for @Photomonitor photomonitor.co.uk/exhibition/she…

@dgleavephoto Nice. But it doesn't matter how good the portrait, the t-shirt or the ginnel if there's no ginger.

Recent #TaylorWessing rejection. I admit I find myself submitting my most Taylor Wessing like images. I know I shouldn’t but the images that get selected do all have the same look. Does anyone else do the same ? #photography #photographer #PHOTOS

@IanBeesleyphoto Is it a mullet as well?

Now that’s a shirt 1980s . Filming in Paris for Granada TV

@dgleavephoto @sonyaphotoart @pollyrusyn Great looking stack. What's the Landy book like?

This is 3/4 of my collection. Can’t stop getting books. Great source of inspiration @sonyaphotoart @pollyrusyn

Thoroughly enjoyed reading @StuartAFranklin’s book on ambiguity in art and writing about it for @Photomonitor photomonitor.co.uk/book/ambiguity…

@dgleavephoto There’s a great album in there somewhere.

Bet William Eggleston hasn’t even noticed it’s Lockdown yet. He’ll just be cracking away as usual. No need to leave the house. #williameggleston #banal #colourphotography

@nicholasroyle Although you could just take the simple approach and only use your own images. Like this. moom.cat/en/item/malkov…
