1) Dorset has always been a place close to my heart, it brings back those childhood memories of spending a week on different beaches during the summer. I have also dreamt of running through a flower field, and so the combination of the flowers that welcomed us and a view of the sea was a perfect way to spend time with family 2) The archway in our garden has been there for an extremely long time. During the lockdown of 2020 I found my interest in photography. I find that in my photos I often find a way of capturing the sunlight shining over the object. 3) I took this whilst hiking in Derbyshire, every time I go it's so peaceful and there are always lovely people that we meet on the walk which makes it more pleasurable 4) This was again taken in Dorset. It is my brothers most favourite beach and it is well known for these beautiful golden cliffs that line the coast 5) Durdle door is a place that I visited during the lockdown of 2020 for the first time and I have gone back again since. There were also many butterflies which danced amongst the flowers. The sea was a greenish blue colour in the light which made the photo more vibrant 6) Yet another photo at Durdle Door. Again since I started photography I've enjoyed capturing streaks made by boats in the ocean and by planes in the sky, especially when there are no other distractions and objects. 7) This is a fossil that I found in Lyme Regis. Fossil hunting formed a large part of my childhood and so it's a tradition to go fossil hunting when we go to Dorset. 8) I visited Bath for the first time and again I love taking photos of quiet places with only a small number of people. I've also discovered that I enjoy taking photos against and object so that some of it is blurred 9) This photo was inspired by a friend who was working on a fine art piece last year. I was inspired by her ideas and wanted to try taking photos of light trails too. 10) As mentioned before I love capturing sunlight in my photos and a bird managed to make it in, mid flight. I'm in love with the vibrancy and the cloud formation in this photo!
We’re halfway through 2023 and critics are slouching towards their Best Records Of The Year So Far lists. They’re rarely happy about it. If dicing releases every 12 months is arbitrary, then six months is labor on a factory line, wood chips for the content mill. But this year, I feel like they hate these lists more than usual. They’re having a hard time picking much. And maybe you are, too. P...
At the close of 2022, Bitcoin wasn’t just down—it was so down that its precipitous fall was breaking records. One report from Bank of America suggested that the collapse in value was the fifth-worst for any asset in financial history. Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...
In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”
