A quiet read in a noisy world

Magazine. Contributing to the long conversation with our coast, culture and the community of Croyde. This year its the wonder and waste of the wetsuit.

Having just started studying a Masters in Sustainable Development I'm now thinking wtf...my heads a swirling mass of thoughts and ideas and I'm wondering why not just make pretty pictures. https://t.co/3X19YJdRa3

The state of it. In M&S today - can’t even tuck his shirt in, and no mask of course. What an embarrassment. At least he’s standing next to lots of 🇬🇧 flags. Hideous spectacle. #ToryShambles #torybritain

It was so sad to hear about Sean Lock's passing. He was someone I would've liked to have a pint with.

Next time you let a balloon go, have a thought for its journey and where it might end up.

In the past the ocean has claimed various bits of fishing tackle from me but I wonder if my footprint has been replenished by what I've picked up?

The main Point this year stems from two Points, the cost of going green & the experience of a leaky wetsuit. These strands have taken my reading & research to various points around the globe & I've come full circle finding some answers but I'm also left with a sense of wonder.

Covid has framed so much of life lately & it's presented challenges to each & every one of us. I have to thank my mum for iss 8. Without her support it certainly wouldn't have made it to print. As ever there is a lot of people to thank because there would be no Point without you.

I wonder if my kids will look back on their childhood and remember, with fondness, all the days we spent by the sea, picking up rubbish. . .

@FlakPhoto I think if you work manually then everything is slow and measured. The good thing about working in film is you have a finite number of frames to make the picture you want. This becomes even more considered working between 35mm, medium and large format.

Picked up some real treats at the beach today. . .

I enrolled on an MA in Sustainable Development at Sussex uni. Today I paid for the first module but I had to borrow £1,000 to pay for it. Only then would the uni confirm my place to the student loan company, then I can pay back the £1000 I borrowed in order to borrow more.

Another day. . .another tide and oh how the world has changed.

So today this was washed up and we had a little Take Heart moment. . .I know what you're thinking, don't give up the day job but I did have a dog on one hand who kept insisting on trying to each everything.

So today the boys and I spent some time at our (not so) secret beach and as usual tried to bring a bit more perfection back to paradise.

Dragged this monster pot up the beach today but couldn't get it much further than the strand line. These things are so heavy and the dog was no help.
