Saddened to hear of the passing of photography icon Martin Parr. Was fortunate enough to run into him a few times while photographing on the streets, and have a little chat. An inspiration to me, and many others.

A couple on a bench sitting by the river with the yellow leaves of autumn overhead and on the floor at their feet. The man has his arm around the woman, who is leaning on his shoulder.

Autumn seems to have come earlier this year.

The most wonderful time of year (is long over).
Though, to me, seeing all the trees rid of decoration and discarded on the side of the road like any other trash is one of the most interesting things about the ‘festive’ season.

A man walks past Flight Centre carrying a Gregg’s sausage roll and looks into the camera, as a seagull swoops over his left shoulder moments away from stealing his food.

From my old series of seagulls stealing food, which I hope to restart. I still haven’t thought of a good name for it yet. Suggestions?

Another year in the books. This is my 8th or 9th year doing a pixel journal. It’s developed over the years, as I’ve added more detailed categories and nuance, but it’s interesting to look back at these. Hoping 2025 will be a better year for me. #journal #journaling #happynewyear #notebook
