The postcard is a photo of a woman seated on a chair, casually posing with crossed legs and bare feet, looking directly at the camera. Behind here and beside her are a lot of posters mainly Sting.

I call this ’6am Flamenco’
Shuttered morning window with fairy lights. Camera movement has caused a streak of lights which look like a person in a flowing skirt spinning. The background is dark, the streaks of light are white, orange, brownish in colour.

Just because.
Woman wearing glasses with a pioe in her mouth. She’s reading a newspaper and holding something in her hands. I have no idea what it is.

Good morning.
I call this ‘Fat People in a Queue’.
Morning window. Abstract. Long exposure and camera movement has created a long, wavy streak of lights running vertical on the too of the image. The rest of the image is a dark blacky red. There’s a hint of where the window is.

The image is a cover for "Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition: Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival 1988". The cover prominently features a photo of Jack DeJohnette playing the drums. There's also a smaller image of a band performing on stage in front of the festival logo. The overall design is clean, with bold text and a focus on the Jack..

Shuttered window. Abstract. The photo shows a blurred view of a window with blinds, captured in a room with light blue walls. I’ve captured movement deliberately. The blinds are partially open, allowing some light to filter through, creating a contrast between light and shadow. It’s 9:32am

I heard today that the great American photographer and teacher Philip Perkis died last week. I’ve always liked his work. (1935 – 2025)

‘Stony Point’ (2017)
Gelatin silver print
The black and white photograph shows a stark winter scene in a forest. The ground is covered in snow, punctuated by clumps of dry grass or vegetation. Thin, bare trees stand tall, their trunks rising from the snow-covered ground. There are also smaller, bare branches scattered across the snowy landscape.

Caspar Netscher (1639 - 1684)
The Lace Maker
Netherlands (1662)
Oil on canvas
33 x 27 cm
I looked at this painting for sometime. The colours were splendid. Her right hand looks puffy. Here’s what The Wallace Collection had to say about the painting: A pupil of Gerard ter Borch, Netscher specialised in small-scale genre scenes in the manner of his teacher. Later in his career, from c.1667, he focused instead on portraits of patrician subjects. Netscher’s undisputed masterpiece, The Lace Maker, is one of the most successful representations of idealised female virtue in Dutch art. In the seventeenth century, women were frequently depicted as dangerous creatures, prone to vice if left to their own devices. Contemporary moralists recommended marriage and housewifery as the only fit occupations for women. Within the home, one of the housewife’s principal duties was to maintain its order and cleanliness, implied in this picture by the broom propped against the wall on the left. The girl’s modest woollen dress implies her lack of vanity, while her absorption in the delicate and difficult task of lace-making underlines her seriousness and moral rectitude. Such an image of the demure housewife, prudent and chaste, had wider implications too, since the home and its correct organisation were considered of supreme importance in determining the moral fate of Dutch society as a whole.

The painting is a figure in shades of white against a gray background, using bold, simplified outlines to define the body's form. The person's body is bent backward, with the head tilted back and the limbs extended in different directions. One arm is reaching upwards, while the legs are both on the ground.
