Perhaps a little early for nativity scenes, but I spotted this in a disused window in Bath on Wednesday evening and it tickled me, in particular the angel held elevated in chicken wire. Even better, it’s only visible from within a small private car park. Very exclusive!

Poundland is looking for a buyer. I’ve got a Pound…

Just back from a superb holiday in West Wales. As per usual, I spent my time shying away from pretty sunshiny photos. The moment the sea mist rolled in, I got my camera out. Llangrannog beach, Cardigan Bay, August 2026

I was recently given a powered height-adjustable desk and I love it! At least for the reason that when I touch preset 4 it rises from 73cm - 110cm in a way that reminds me of the volcano doors opening in a James Bond film. All I need now is a white cat and a shark tank beneath my feet.

Come and see my first solo exhibition at ACEarts Somerton! On all summer. www.acearts.co.uk/2026-2/

I'm just back from a fantastic and entertaining audience with James Ellis and Roger Deakins hosted by Topping & Co bookstore at Komedia in Bath. It was a sell-out evening, a packed theatre, to hear about their collaborative lives in film.

EVERY time I try to get on with my work, one app or another decides to interrupt me with an update. This is no longer productive.

Such a supportive response to my ’sponsor a roll of film’ post yesterday. Nearly 30 rolls of film for my new long term project are now sponsored. Over the next 2 years each sponsor will get to know where their film was used and be dedicated in the eventual work. open.substack.com/pub/marcwils...

On July 1st an extra import fee of £3 will kick in for people from the EU buying from the U.K. So especially if you’re thinking of buying one of my zines, now might be the time to do it! www.marcwilson.co.uk/book-print-s...

You can now get a fiver off Stephen Leslie's brilliant book Mostly False Reports using the code ELBOW5 here: www.stephenleslie.co.uk/mostly-false... I have it and it's brilliant.

Sometimes I like to live life on the edge, entering an authenticator code when the numbers have turned red.

Seeing froglets emerge from our pond gives me such joy.

I'd almost forgotten I was still paying off my Bounce Back Loan, but 6 years on from the Covid-19 pandemic and I've received a statement saying I've paid it off! Yay! Probably just in time for the next pandemic, but heyho.

Why are chickpeas terrible at telling jokes? Because they have no sense of humus.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Make bread not war. 6th loaf baked today. I may need help.

Make bread, not war. I'm revisiting my bread-making technique. Shaping is still my weak point, but I'll get there.

After a bit of a break, I now have some freelance availability. Get in touch to chat about how I can help you with : • ux/ui design • design direction • design systems • visual identity & brand • accessibility & inclusive design • design process Shares greatly appreciated! damoncharles.com

Today is publication day for my new book. Bristol’s modernist & brutalist buildings are rarely celebrated. Some are listed, many are threatened, a few are already gone. This book is a record and an appreciation of the buildings and the era that made them possible. www.eberlin.co.uk/store/p/mode...

Periodic friendly nudge : If you're a photographer who shares their work on Instagram, I encourage you to try and stop doing it. Meta are demonstrably a deeply unethical company, and sharing work there just perpetuates IGs standing as the defacto calling card for photographers.

This is a great opportunity to hear @niallmcdiarmid.bsky.social talk about his creative process and his documenting of British life over the past decade. At £5.00, I don't think tickets will hang around long!

“I thought I was Santa.”

From my book What Happened Here. May 2017 - Boy in abandoned building. One of the few remaining buildings on the Saxonvale site was regularly visited by kids looking for something to break or burn. Book available here: www.takeagander.co.uk/-/galleries/...

Any recommendations for other documentary photographers I can follow here who are doing really good work?

I had to work today, so while I was at my desk I set the printer going on some postcard prints. Mostly non-project pictures. Did a few, so thinking about selling them in sets like this or something?

Make cake not war.

From my book What Happened Here, kids play in an abandoned building. At this stage the site had been empty for 17 years. It's now almost 26 years, and it's still awaiting development. Book available here: www.takeagander.co.uk/-/galleries/...

Make cake not war.

This applies to UK too. I've counted just two dandelions in our garden so far, but I know they'll be popping up everywhere soon enough! I used to pull the seed heads to keep numbers down, but it's pointless. Just let nature have its way, you'll feel calmer for it.
