A bit of a photo crit session at the Photo-Parlour
This is a very hypnotic dance …. the point of it i guess
but then look what modern ears reckon what they might be doing …. 🙂
The fusion energy industry could produce a breakthrough in human history akin to the adoption of electricity
Being an anti-nuclear guy ……. up to now, I do think, and have always thought that nuclear fusion is a splendid idea. If it can be made to work. The problems with fission is safety of blowing up of course. But also the radio active by-products with half-life of thousands of years. Oh, and decommissioning the plant which remain similarly poisonous.
“…. If it can be perfected, there’s enough fuel for everyone on Earth to use as much energy annually as the average American for at least thousands of years, and probably millions. This form of power doesn’t produce carbon dioxide or long-lived radioactive waste,”
Any nuclear physicists in here to set me straight? What is this long-lived radioactive waste. how long? Really, is this the answer we hope it is?

“England is not a free people, till the poor that have no land, have a free allowance to dig and labour the commons”.
So says Gerrard Winstanley a leader of the Diggers, in 1649.
At the end of the English Civil War, people began to realise that after their sacrifice in fighting that war, they had replaced one bunch of uncaring bastards with another lot
…. well, that’s politics and war for you, nothing new there then!!!
I see many parallels with today. The people pitched against an unrepresentative state and aristocracy. The Church acting rather like the present day multinationals, and a lot of people who just wanted to be left alone, without interference from church or state, on land that they respected and loved. I think this gives a little background to highlight an idea of what I mean. 350 years ago now, but a solid example of “DIY culture”, or what!

This is a few feet from where the Sherwood Railway Station would have been …. oh so long ago. The garages nearby are on the course of the railway track, the curve of which can be seen to point to the bridge there.
I live in the nearby high rise flats ….. if I see you, might rush out with a tea and bun …. Who knows 🙂
I regularly go to a photography group here in Nottingham.
They / we meet on the last Wednesday of every month at The Photo Parlour … so next one will be Wednesday 23rd Feb at 6pm
It was established in December 2016 by Dan Wheeler and Jake Howe from Photo Parlour, and Jagdish Patel from Primary Studios. All three are working photographers who undertake both commissioned work, and personal projects. The idea of the monthly Photo Social was simply to provide a space to share ideas and think about photography projects, getting ideas for photographs, and the approach to the process of taking photographs.
The event is always the last Wednesday of the month, but what we are doing, and where we are might change!
We welcome anyone who enjoys making photos, whether thats on your phone or on large format film and everything in-between.
The Photo Socials are popular and with each event the social gets better. We are hoping to organise an ongoing programme of practical workshops, classes and talks over the coming year, so if your passion is photography or you’d just like to know more about getting involved with photography in Nottingham, come to the event and feel free to contact us.
