I’m a guy who has a camera and takes photographs. Mostly black and white because it’s what I feel most seen. No distractions....

The letter: October

October was supposed to be the quiet month before November. Instead there was a funeral in Brittany, the camera I learnt on in 1987 bought back for fifteen euros, and a day lost to working out what is actually happening in France....

What is happening in France is a French story

A friend in the US asked what is going on in France. I live here, and I wanted to answer with facts rather than a feeling. This is the short version, and one request....

What is happening in France? 72% of French people judged the students' demands legitimate. Read the facts first, not through American politics.

France, October 2026: what is going on

A friend in the US asked me what is going on in France, so I spent a day checking what is known and what is only claimed. This is the long answer: the history, three popular claims tested against the evidence, and a dated list of what to watch next....

France protests 2026: a school protest became a national crisis. On 17 October the government counted 550,000 marchers. The facts, with sources.

This One Is Mine: Shooting a Praktica MTL3 Again

My son was off to forge a knife, so I dropped him at Le Gâvre with a Praktica MTL3 and a roll of RPX 400 and went looking for something to photograph. It is the camera I learnt on in 1987: same model, same shutter noise, a different decade. The plan for the rest of the day was lunch, flowers and confession....

Back with the camera I learnt on in 1987: a Praktica MTL3, a roll of RPX 400, two half-black frames and an afternoon I would not recommend.

The first letter

A couple of hundred people signed up to hear from me and I sent them almost nothing, because I could never work out what a newsletter from me was supposed to be. I think I've got it now. Here's the first one, published so you can see what you'd be getting....

Normandy, 1944 — All Sixteen

Two trips, seven years apart, and I only worked out this week that they were ever the same project. Sixteen photographs between Pegasus Bridge and Utah Beach, all in black and white now, all live in the shop....

Sixteen black-and-white photographs from two trips to Normandy, seven years apart — Pegasus Bridge to Utah Beach, now live as prints and downloads.

The Merville Battery

I went to the Merville Battery in August 2019, between Pegasus Bridge in the morning and the war cemetery at Ranville in the afternoon. I wrote about both of those and never wrote about this, and the photographs sat on a disk for seven years. This is the part of that day I had let go of....

One hundred and fifty men instead of six hundred, no radios, six torpedoes instead of sixty. The Merville Battery raid — and photographs I forgot I had.

A Family Is a Timeline: Weddings, White Hair, and the Roads of Normandy

On the passage of time: through a family, through a landscape, and through the photographs we leave behind. On the 8th of August I watched Maureen marry Maciej. There is something peculiar about a family wedding when you have been around long enough to have seen several generations grow up. Maureen is one of Jean-Claude's three daughters, and the last of them to marry....

A family wedding in August, a week in Coutances, and a landscape that keeps its history close. On timelines, family and otherwise, and what photographs are actually for.

Film, words, and a new shop

For forty years, I have been taking photographs. Mostly on film. Mostly in the Vendée, Nantes, and the UK, with a few detours to places like China. For a long time, those photographs just lived on my hard drives, or in boxes in the attic. Recently, I decided it was time to do something with them. So, I built a shop....

After 40 years of shooting film, I have opened a shop. Browse fine art prints fulfilled by WhiteWall in Berlin, plus digital downloads and photography eBooks

She had been at a sleepover. I collected her, pointed the car in a direction I already knew, and said nothing about where we were going. I had…...

She had been at a sleepover. I knew where we were going; she didn't. A Wednesday in July at the Zoo de la Boissière du Doré — giraffes, lorikeets, and a map she refused to give back.
