@jetfury How about 'Briiiiiiiiiiístol'?

[David Drake @ffotodavid]

@CNN The song sounds closer to Curtis Mayfield's People Get Ready than Let's Get It On. Common slow groove

[David Drake @ffotodavid]

Onthis day, one e year ago, I posted this about the arrival of the book of the #ManyVoicesOneNation exhibition, of which I was proud to be a part. I'm ever grateful to @ffotodavid & @ffotogallery Cardiff. My 15 minutes of fame, to quote Warhol's pronouncement re we all have them,

One of the most gratifying aspects of running a gallery is introducing people to new work by artists they didn't know about, and also building a new community of people who want art in their lives and to share their passions and insights @caerbladon

[David Drake @ffotodavid]

@MaxMiechowski's Land Loss was my @PhotoLondonFair highlight, and I'm glad he won the Nikon emerging talent award
