Underfall Boatyard Bristol. There’s something relaxing about watching a man paint a boat. In the world of Zoom, 24/7 lifestyle and phone apps the timeless demand to maintain boats seems refreshing. —————————————— #bristol #bristollife #bristolboats #boatyard #boatyards #underfallyard #bristoldocks #shipbuilding #boats #igersbristol #bristol_lens #bristol247 #igersuk #bristolphoto #june2021 #bristoldocks (at Underfall Boatyard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQBdkt6njik/?utm_medium=tumblr

The first of the Dartmoor images. I went thinking in B&W then I met this poser. How could I resist a splash of colour from this chap. —————————————— #dartmoor #dartmoornationalpark #dartmoorphotos #dartmoorcows #dartmoorhighlandcattle #highlandcow #highlandcows #highlandcattle #dartmoorphotography #dartmoorwildlife #june2021 #visitengland #visitdevon #devonwildlife #catchphotos #f4clifton #animalportrait #igersdevon #igersdartmoor #poser (at Dartmoor National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPvTuzGngKa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Whilst living in London there were times when time stood still. Occasionally something or someone would be in non-staged location that was equally as traditional. This Beautiful Bentley was parked in South Ken. By magic there were no other signs of 21st century present. —————————————— #southkensington #kensingtonandchelsea #rbkc #london #londonlife #igerslondon #igerslondon🇬🇧 #bentley #oldbentley #classiccar #vintage #vintagecar #vintagecars (at South Kensington SW7) https://www.instagram.com/p/COu2Mb2n-SN/?igshid=1x3he67lolage

When I took this back in 2018 I remember the cold chill of fear as they flew over. Although the RAF 100 flyover was a celebration this building created an almost apocalyptic atmosphere for me. ——————————————- #eurofightertyphoon #eurofighter #bnwlovers #bmwlondon #monochrome #monochromephotography #monochromatic #londonarchitecture #bnwarchitecture #apocalyptic #flyover #londonphotography #2018 #fighterjets #londonimages (at City of London) https://www.instagram.com/p/COM-On0n47H/?igshid=1a1sp5u5u9l7a

Hong Kong property is diverse. Sometimes it’s cutting edge and sometimes not. But the colours of the commercial buildings were wonderfully contrasting. ——————————————#hk #hkproperty #commercialphotography #propertyphotography #modernarchitecture #architecturephotography #architecturedesign (at 𝙃𝙊𝙉𝙂 𝙆𝙊𝙉𝙂) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMy-L18nnTf/?igshid=9xkk1j80htrj

The commute home. Most evenings this dude would zip past me on his skateboard and a bag of shopping.

In London two years ago I used to commute to work by walking two hours a day. Maybe a little crazy but I should say it was mainly walking diagonally across Hyde Park. Probably the best commute in London ? ———————————— #hydepark #hydeparklondon #shadowhunters #shadowsandlight #shadows #commuting #sunrise #earlymorning #treeshadow #brickwall #igerslondon #londonphotography #londonparks #hydeparklondon #londonparksandgardens #tree #thisislondon #brickwork #W2 #walktowork (at Hyde Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMR3ExmnRRQ/?igshid=85l0pmcbw80c

Back in the nineties I took a roll of B&W film to try and document pollution in the 20th Century. I haven’t printed or cut these negatives since taking them. My vision of extreme extinction a generation ago was a little too much at the time. Unfortunately we are now far closer to extinction of the planet than we were then and unfortunately this picture is more relevant than I hoped it would be in 2021—————————————- #extinctionrebellion #extinction #polluted #20thcentury #ilfordpan100 #bnwphotography #bnwfilm #bnwfilmphotography #decay #decayed #monochrome #monochromephotography #industry #airpollution #armageddon #extinctionisforever #stopextinction #bnw_captures #englishlandscape (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMMreknHA3W/?igshid=esfybm1u3g3t

In 1996 I met on the side of the road this Goat Herder. Simple but tough life as a Nomad. I remember how damn hot it was in the late morning sun. I tried to get into Syria but failed. Long story. Somewhere between Syria and Lebanon. Nice bloke although we didn’t understand a word of each other. ———————————— #lebanon #goatherd #goatherding #goatherder #lebanon🇱🇧 #nomadlife #nomad #nomadlifestyle #goats🐐 #goatlife #tmax400 #filmphotography #eos1n #filmcamera #filmphotography #bnwportrait #bnwphotography #1996gallery #1996 (at Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLuQOsWnVuR/?igshid=48b482do0yd2

Found some old pictures of Iceland. Digital cameras in 2007 and now are similar to a movie on VHS to 4K! It’s justifiable to plan another trip I feel. 😉——————————- #iceland #icelandtravel #icelandtrip #icelandscape #landscapephotography #mountains #iceland🇮🇸 #igersiceland #icelandicnature #icelandphotography #naturephotography #landscapephotography #icelandiclandscape #landscapes (at Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmR7WQnLSW/?igshid=6shfyoe4d977

An ancient Chinese city of almost a thousand years. Positioned snug in the foothills of the southern Himalaya in the Yunnan province.

Twelve years ago this was the start of the year of the Ox. This is one of my favourite pictures from central China. It’s in Harbin bordering on Russia and North Korea. It was smog. The child running into the smoggy future made me think today about it today. A New Chinese Year and what the Ox will bring to 2021’s horizon? ————————————- #harbin #china2009 #harbinchina #chineseculture #picoftheday #chinesetraveler #travelphotography #asiantravel #smog #northchina #russianchina #china🇨🇳 #oldchina #horizon #lifeinchina #lifeinchina🇨🇳 (at Harbin, China) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLMTy2cnLAm/?igshid=1tz7c2efhnu
