A first experiment with Halide’s Process Zero while shooting with my iPhone.

An image of Northampton Square features tall trees, a building in the background, and a gazebo surrounded by greenery.

The beach huts on Littlehampton beach this morning turned out to be a real photographic gift, as did an unexpectedly shaped café.

I must do more random photography like this.

More images here.

A row of colorful beach huts with green and yellow doors stands on a pebble-covered shore under a partly cloudy sky.Bright yellow beach huts are situated near a modern building with people and dogs walking nearby.

Cheeky coffee and bap at Edge by the Sea after dropping my youngest at a Brownies day.

A small table in a cafe is set with a book, an empty plate with utensils, a coffee cup, and condiment bottles, with a chair and cushion nearby.

The clash between Sober October and London Cocktail Week feels particularly vexing this year.

Quite the reverse: challenger digital news brands are now snapping up traditional print media ones. But what should we make of the sale of The Spectator, and the discussions about Tortoise buying The Observer?

I have thoughts.

A Network of AI ‘Nudify’ Sites Are a Front for Notorious Russian Hackers - and the site attempt to infect you device with malware.

A worn-out white and peach Nike sneaker lies in the grass.

Need a POSSE?

I think we all do. And, right now, micro.blog is mine.

This is the way forward, if we want to navigate the social media diaspora in an efficient, feasible way.

Another day, another pub. 🍺

A pub with a sign that reads "Welcome to The Kings Head at Staplehurst" is beneath a string of bulb lights against a partly cloudy sky.

Brits: Adventurous Ink, a great book club that sends you books on nature, adventure - and reconnecting with each other and reclaiming our attention — has a relaunch Kickstarter that’s struggling to meet its target.

Please do check it out, and consider backing.

Here’s a secret: Fritz Kola is one of the main reasons I love going to Hamburg…

Several bottles of Fritz-Kola are displayed behind a glass surface.

I sometimes wish I had made photography a bigger part of my professional life. The only time I really get to do it is when I’m doing event liveblogging. And sometimes that turns into gig photography.

I have blogs. I should do more photography projects.

What the hell is happening at Automattic?

It looks like the war for the profits of WordPress has begun…
