On the travels I need to go to Vilnius before I can get a coach to Minsk. I wish I had more time in Vilnius this time like last time. A delayed flight means even less and cutting it fine to connect.

Off travelling again can’t wait to see what I capture through my lens this time.
I have packed 6 packs of film along with my trusty a long trip to Minsk ahead but excited for the time away.

Thank you to Daniele Rugo for coming to Newcastle and showing his movie Life support.
Having watched almost all the this unfold on my phone over two years put in a single chronological movie told by international doctors who have Ben to Gaza and are speaking up for Palestinians was deep and powerful. One of the best documentaries I have seen. It’s in cinemas everyone should try and see it.
Thank you to Omar at Zeytoun for putting on this amazing program at Tyneside cinema and spreading Palestinian culture through his events.

The sights, the sounds, and the stories of the 140th Durham Miners’ Gala. There is absolutely nothing quite like the energy of The Big Meeting. Team bun face was out in force who doesn’t love political satire while Farage embarks on a vanity project he might actually lose.

Up the marras, f**k the police.

Hard posting colour photos, not wearing a hat, It must be the Durham miners gala. The big meeting 2026. A beautiful, loud, unapologetic celebration of community, solidarity, and working class history.

Up the marras, f**k the police.
