Thank God for immigrants.
I am the son of an immigrant. My mother came in search of a better life & married the son of an immigrant. I was educated, mentored & inspired by immigrants. I fell in love & made a wonderful family with an immigrant ❤️ – at Birmingham, England

Abstractions
Continuing my obsession with capturing the multiple layers of reflections. For me, the devil is very much in the surface detail 😘 – at Birmingham, England

Holding Hands
Taking photos of people is, for me, a privilege. The images I make are mostly candid, snapshots of real life happening in front of me. There is so much joy to be found in these quiet moments of humanity.
Thanks for looking 👊🏻
A huge thank you to everyone who liked, shared or commented with memories, trivia & stories about my photo post yesterday.
I've been quite overwhelmed by the positive response. There were so many lovely comments that it took on a life of its own!
Thank you so so much 🙏🏻
A Field in England
On the hottest day of the year, I took a trip across the Midlands to see the last functioning coal fired power station in the UK.
Except, it didn't quite work out that way. I got quite distracted by the extraordinary scenes I found in a nearby field.... ⬇️
Sitting in the shadow of Ratcliffe Power Station is Redhill Marina. People bring their boats & barges from all over, seeking repairs at the workshops here.
Vessels are lifted from the water & parked in the fields, where they're repaired, lived in or sometimes, left to rot away 😔
Diverted
Hello Everybody 👋
In the last few weeks, I seem to have been bitten by the black & white bug 🕷
After watching 'Ripley', I've been captivated by how the contrast between black & white can create tremendous depths of depth & cinematic atmosphere 📽 – at Birmingham, England
Surface tension
Reflections: Yeah, I'm obsessed 😇 I do struggle at times to keep things interesting, so I've gotten into the habit of looking for imperfect reflections to deepen the sense of abstraction. I have to work harder to make good images, but it's worth the effort 📸🤩 – at Birmingham, England
Agreed! – at Birmingham, England
It seems to me that the portrayal of the Labour win as shallow because of the vote share is misleading. This was a ‘get the tories out’ election. For different people that generally meant voting Labour, Lib Dem, Green or Reform. But in doing so they all knew they’d get a Labour government and did it deliberately. In reality even Reform voters actually voted for Keir Starmer to be PM.

This is our chance to make a change. Don't grumble about the state of our country if you can't be bothered to do something about it.
Use this opportunity to effect real change.
