The contentious story about the authorship & integrity of the famous ‘Napalm Girl’ Vietnam War photograph is investigated in this new doc, which will be well worth a watch. Check out “The Stringer: The Man Who Took The Photo” on Netflix netflix.com/us/title/8206979…

Just tuned into this great convo with Jim Mortram of the Small Town Inertia project on the A Photographic Life podcast. Plenty of references to his daily life up in Norfolk, McCullin, W. Eugene Smith & Giles Duly. Worth 60 mins of your time... 📸 buff.ly/bVL9hH7

Eugène Atget, documentarian of 'old' Paris, began photographing the city in 1898 with a large format view camera. Notable for their sense of space and light, Atget's photography recorded areas of Paris that were soon to be razed before undergoing massive modernization projects.

Print is dead. The high street is on its knees. No one leaves the house any more. We all hate each other. Or maybe as a small counter narrative - shop is blue, shop is open, shop is here for everyone.

Highly Recommend #Union with @DavidOlusoga on the iPlayer. Ep.3 was v. interesting given today’s political climate. How we treated/rewarded the people who served the country is still a disgrace. Perhaps an actual memorial for the soldier David Ewart? bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0… – at London, England
Episode 3 of my new series #Union is on BBC 2 tonight at 9pm - and all episodes are on #iplayer right now.

Idk who needs this but I’ve seen a few startups fail because of founder burn out. I haven’t seen any startups fail because a founder took a couple days off.

I notice so many people in creative with un/diagnosed mental health issues who are visibly struggling. All great people coming up with some wild projects/innovative work + products. This ticking time bomb needs to be addressed, debated & then help given. #WorldMentalHealthDay

I am totally loving this. And I really hate swimming. Can see an excellent exhib/book at some point 🙌 #FilmIsNotDead
‘Swimmers’ is a project I started nearly 4 years ago, then along came Covid. It’s been good to rekindle it, get back in the water and start working on it again. This week I’m heading to some high tarns in the Lake District. 🥶🏊#documentaryphotography

Love this. Actual 1960s London footage without Carnaby Street or screaming Beatles fans in it… – at London, England
A short drive through London and Oxford Street. Filmed in the 1960s.
