Nice stuff, back on top form from Polarisandy and Getee.
Edit. Just saw the guy in the stairs photo. Not too keen on that. Possibly too many 70s dungaree'd festival nightmares.

Thanks Eddie - I am always in awe of Andy's work, particularly those that doument the lives of rural people.

LOL, I quite understand. It was a moment in Earls Court Tube Station that I couldn't let pass but it turned out that he was/is an aspiring actor so the result ended up looking like a fashion shoot. I can see that won't be to everyone's tastes.
Cheers Eddie/Geetee, picked up a camera after quite a few months off.
Likewise enjoying all photos,great range subjects and styles.
Liking the street portraits GT, very nice lighting.
Thanks to Sofaking for explaining how to post on the new site!

Technically rubbish but proud of it for entirely different reasons:


The Burway, Long Mynd just this morning. Unfortunately my camera battery was dead (there was cursing) so phonecam had to suffice:

Went the long way home on the commute last night:

After all the jokes about Dara being dropped from Mock The Week a fortnight ago I was pleased to find he found a new job in Weymouth.

I like that ^^ SofaKing.
Thanks bikebouy

Expectation:

Reality:

But apart from that I genuinely love this Andy.
I just found out that this entry to the Taylor Wessing prize has made it through to the final round of judging.

To say I'm a bit excited would be something of an understatement.
The excitement was short lived. I didn't get selected for the exhibition, which was what I was holding my breath for. There were 4500 entries afrom around 2000 photographers and 341 photographs were taken through to the final round of judging.
It is at times like these that I remind myseldf that don't take photographs for competitions or recognition. Those things are nice but they are not the motivation.
This is the motivation:

😉 think i prefer reality GT.





This, not because it is great art, but it is a reminder of the sweat and fear it took to get a 70 year old rod-brake bike to this point on part of the HT550 trail.

It’s been a long time since I last posted anything, since Photobucket effectively went tits-up, and I’ve never been able to get Flickr to work on a mobile device, but thanks to someone suggesting Postimage, I can put up one or two. Took this one last weekend, at Morgan’s Hill near Calne, the far horizon is the line of the Cotswolds looking towards Stroud.
Oh, and taken with my old iPhone 6+, its all I had with me.
