\"murpworkschrome<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I return to blog, this blog in particular after a considerable amount of time. I realise that although a lot has changed, a lot hasn’t. When I pinned the image of the Ukraine flag to the top of the blog in 2022, I thought it would be a temporary thing. I thought a few months, and a sense would have returned to the world. In 2026 however, the world has become a less sensible place; more wars, the threat of AI, Social media’s manipulation, a further moving to the right across Europe and the world. It feels as if there is little an individual can do, so I photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change is Constant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Looking back through the first part of light on a lens<\/a>, I see the car has changed, where we live has changed, the cameras I use have changed and what we want to do has changed. As a consequence, what I photograph has changed. However, murpworkschrome will remain the home of my images<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"murpworkschrome<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I photograph in black & white and <\/em>colour, although black and white is probably going to dominate. I’m predominantly using a Nikon Z 7 II with a Z 28mm f2.8 lens. I’m going to start using the Fujifilm XPro-1 and from the end of May, I will have the Nikon Df again; I immediately regretted selling it but have managed to obtain one in a great condition (thanks to MPB<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, a return to blog – renewed vigour in a time of uncertainty and worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
