Second from a headshot shoot for Émilie. When I'm happy that I've got a good image from a "headshot" client, I often say "Shall we do a few portrait style ones just for fun?" Colour & black and white version. Let me know which you prefer.

From a headshot shoot for Émilie. Clients often ask for a headshot and then ask for head and shoulders. That's not techincally a headshot then. Tee hee.

4 volumes poetry written over 14 years now stuffed. In excess of 200 poems estd. Latest, a piece I have been planning for 2½ years, working on for a 2 months & of which I'm v. proud, necessitates starting of a 5th. Not short, so I'm not sure when, where or if I'll ever get a chance to perform it.

Last from my stroll around Micklegate last week; an overcast November Monday. A couple of shots of the Bar were pleasing, then some of the shops which were nothing special. I turned up Priory Street instead of continuing to the centre.

@bbcnewsuk.bsky.social What is a "motorised angle grinder"? How can an angle grinder not be motorised?
