#TREESTYLE: prompted by my old pal and classmate @debscastrow, I too have gone full late-Don McCullin and shooting brooding landscapes. Unlike him, my latest inspiration is replaying the post-apocalyptic world of Half-Life 2 and I’ve spent the last three seasons photographing the native trees while under its influence. Still a work-in-progress and planning further shooting with a Ukrainian friend while we both struggle to make sense of 2023. #photography #landscape #postmillennialism #metamodernism #incamera #leicaq2 #summilux

#AUTUMN: #Hamburg is quite beautiful, instead of the many parks we have in London, the entire city is lined with trees. The parkland at #PlantenUnBlomen is particularly well-kept, the Japanese garden only augmenting it rather than being a highlight. The (largest in Germany) open-air ice rink should be coming soon, and then there’s a bit of a fight to turn it back into a giant #rollerskate park from April to September, as the new surface isn’t skate-friendly… #Germany #park #leicapower #summilux

#AVEBURY: a walk through the stones. I have only admired #Stonehenge from afar and never actually visited, but this is my fourth or so visit to Avebury over twenty years. It’s a bit more organized than it once was, and many more people, but still a magical place at a human scale. #henge #stonecircle #prehistoric #neolithic #worldheritage #worldheritagesite #countryside #bwphotography #blackandwhitephotography #leica #leicaq2 #summilux #rural #ruralbritain #britain

#LEICAQ2: goodbye M9, hello Q2. The first month shows that this is the closest possible modern-day equivalent to my beloved #ContaxG2, the fixed lens is unimpeachable, it is whisper-quiet and 47.3MP means huge flexibility in cropping. Perfect EDC camera as it’s pretty weather-sealed. And wifi pictures straight to my phone. Amazing. The #Canon1DX is up for sale too now :) Another ten years for this beast… #leica #mirrorless #rangefinder #summilux
