I’m going to be selling quite a lot of photo equipment over the next few weeks including the cameras which I used for the vast majority of the photos for the Outsiders project. Will offer them on here first then pass to a friend to sell on eBay if they don’t sell.

I've found myself talking about the festival - and Emily Garthwaite's talk and this photo in particular - repeatedly over the last week. So good.

Three special articles delve into photography in music album art – likely a form of photography, consciously or unconsciously, residing in many of our own private collections and has real emotional value and, perhaps, will be handed down to a new generation.

Here’s the new issue #015 of Offline Journal. Cover images by Paul Hurlow ARCHIVE is the theme for this issue – the biggest issue to date with 108 pages of photography and writing on photography in and beyond Wales.
