I’ve returned to my roots. It seems at the core of it all not much has changed. I'm passionate about pictures, curious about people & care about their lives.

As part of my long term documentary picture story about the Lea Bridge Road I spent a year photographing The Potters House church. I have combined black and white stills with video to tell this story. Grab a coffee and enjoy. https://t.co/OoyNacOu4Z

Just for fun George and I decided we’d throw in a few of our pictures of Hull’s drag artist Ray Millington (AKA Bobby Mandrell and Kandy de Barry) who announced his retirement after 50 years performing. https://t.co/4ujr3BiHbp

After 4 years working on my series of pictures about the Lea Bridge Road, my exhibition ‘Living the Changes’ has now opened. Here’s a poster and a peak at the show exhibition. It's accessible to all as it's on the fence of Lea Bridge Library, London E10 https://t.co/wBqztGnN54

Since 2020, The Brothers Project has been providing hot meals to the most vulnerable in east London. What started as a small initiative among friends during Ramadan in the COVID-19 pandemic has now grown into a lifeline for 1000s- picture story here https://t.co/00SPm4tD0C

Last week I judged a street photography competition. Easier said than done. The process echoed my thoughts on why I continue to approach strangers & take their pictures. Equally importantly, once the picture shot, how to present the story. My thoughts here https://t.co/1LoJYu6VGu

Step into the dust, haze and noise and meet the characters of K&H Timber Supplier on Lea Bridge Road, London - https://t.co/AuuxiKYaf4

[Russell Boyce @Cropperboyce]

As part of my story about Lea Bridge Road, I spent weeks documenting the carpenters in K&H Timbers Supplier as they celebrate their 45th year. I'm obsessively exploring presentation so used different formats, colour digital, B/W medium format film & video https://t.co/KlhTuemUgb

Halloween comedy-horror. A middle aged washed-up male stripper group take one last show. They discover they are the intended sacrifice to raise a 16th century witch from the dead. I was invited by director Marc Coleman to document the finale scene. https://t.co/ZQ8E1mPIW9

It's raining so spent a bit of time updating the Lea Bridge Road page on my website. Have a click and enjoy - https://t.co/h2Dt9DKR3E

I’m now actually getting to grips with the square format of the Rolleiflex, 12 frames per roll of film and to focus it is a bit of a struggle. If you have a minute to spare, a few of my favourite recently shot pictures here https://t.co/ZxJvyjaRpz

A line was drawn under my documentary photographic work in Hull. Stories I'd begun in the 1980s & completed last year ‘Rag Bone!’, ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, Kandy de Barry!’ and ‘Star & Garter’ all converged in one place on one chaotic evening. What's next? https://t.co/PWBwXZbhPw

1983 I spent many lunchtimes shooting pix in Star & Garter pub. 2023 I lined them up in the exact place I took them. I needed a soundtrack for the video and what better than the Housemartins track ‘Think for a Minute’. See it here https://t.co/60P3JbdgnX Thanks @PaulHeatonSolo
