Here's how Kodak brought photography to the masses with the "snapshot".
Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸
Private Eye editor Ian Hislop was reportedly inside a taxi in Soho when its back window was hit by a suspected gunshot yesterday. Hislop and the driver are both okay and police are keeping an open mind on motive
So many questions…
— Has he cancelled his Netflix and given up booze and fags?
— Has he adopted the 30p recipe book?
— Has he trained as a doctor/nurse/care-worker/fuit-picker?
— Has he considered charity work?
— Has he had his benefits stopped for missing a Jobcentre meeting?Far-right riots didn't occur in a vacuum: right-wing politicians and media laid the ground by painting migrants, Muslims & people of a colour as a threat.
But we're not your enemy - we’re allies in the fight for a better life.
My speech at Nottingham’s counter demo on Saturday:“Some people did say the police act is the final nail in the coffin”

Former Tory deputy chair and ex-MP Jonathan Gullis is out of work. Seems no school wants him, despite chronic shortages of qualified teachers. Any suggestions of what alternative job he could be reasonably expected to take on? Funnier the better. 🤡🤣

An ongoing diary of stuff, allsorts, and things wot happen ……
I am a photographer with a special interest to document the lives of travelling people and those attending Festivals, Stonehenge etc, what the press often describe as ‘New Age Travellers’ and many social concerns.
With my photography, I have tried to say something of the wide variety of people engaged in ‘Alternatives’, and youths’ many sub-cultures and to present a more positive view.
I have photographed many free and commercial events and have, in recent years, extended my work to include dance parties (’rave culture’), gay-rights events, environmental direct actions, and protest against the Criminal Justice Act and more recently, issues surrounding the Global Capitalism.
Further, police surveillance has recently become a very important subject for me!
In recognition of this work, received a ‘Winston’ from Privacy International, at the 1998 ‘Big Brother’ Awards. The citation reads: “Alan Lodge is a photographer who has spent more than a decade raising awareness of front-line police surveillance activities, particularly the endemic practice of photographing demonstrators and activists”.
I am based in Nottingham, UK.
Quotes & Thoughts
“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.”
Martin Luther King Jr.“In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance.
In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!!”
Harry Lime [Orsen Wells] The Third Man 1949“Civilization will not attain to its perfection, until the last stone from the last church, falls on the last priest.”
Emile Zola“….I have an important message to deliver to all the cute people all over the world.
If you’re out there and you’re not cute, maybe you’re beautiful, I just want to tell you somethin’- there’s more of us ugly mother-fuckers than you are, hey-y, so watch out now…”
Frank Zappa
