Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.

Colour re-edit of one of my early shots to get Explored here on Flickr, captured in April 2015.

I still think it works better in black and white but times are photographically lean right now for me. Enjoy!

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.

A previously unpublished shot from the early days of my street photography. Captured in March 2014 with my old Canon 400D and trusty Sigma 17-50mm lens.

I was clearly spotting interesting juxtapositions even then with the coffee and fatigue combination here. Sadly there are millions of people now suffering clinical fatigue as a result of Covid and repeated Covid infections. Amongst many terrible, permanent and debilitating things that Covid does to the body, one of them is to damage the mitochondria in our cells, the structures that are the powerhouses of cellular function. Another is to damage oxygen delivery to cells through vascular damage. Covid-19 is primarily a vascular and immunodeficiency disease.

Millions of people have had their health permanently deteriorated and each reinfection is cumulative. Please do all you can to avoid infection.

Take care my Flickr friends. I am off to get some more coffee for my far less infectious lack of sleep induced fatigue. Enjoy!

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.

Previously unpublished archive shot from January 2017. This one was held back for the imperfect focus on the lead eye of my subject. Sometimes I can be too much of a perfectionist as the rest of the image and her expression really leap out of the frame for me.

I hope that all of my UK followers survived Storm Isha with all property intact last night. Winds peaked at around 85mph at my house and I was lucky to be in a island of electricity with all surrounding areas being without power for a few hours. We did get three power dropouts and some wheelie bin carnage but otherwise all was well. Considering we were under a Tornado Watch here in Scotland for several hours, we got off lightly. Now to watch for Storm Jocelyn coming in on Tuesday!

Take care everyone.

Flickr Support have asked me to leave my photograph up if it does not appear in your 'update feed' and start generating views as I would normally expect. This is so that their engineers can try to get to the bottom of the issue that continues to plague my account.
As a result this image may have fewer views and favourites than would be expected for a time.

I vaguely remember this guy belting out some festive and funky cheer including a little bit of Wham too! Enjoy!

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.

Re-uploaded after the failing of Flickr and it's update feed yesterday, but otherwise a previously unpublished shot from December 2016.

Hopefully Flickr is working today and you can see this shot and I can get to enjoy all of your wonderful photography.

Only 12 days until Christmas and I wonder if it is too late to ask Santa for a working and stable Flickr.

Take care everyone.
