I’m a nude photographer, sometimes literally, as befitting a nudist (if shooting with a fellow nudist or nude-friendly people), but I mean more so that I like to shoot nudes. Because of the social attitudes that surround nudity, that can cause some confusion and misconceptions to people who do not…

Of the many troubling aspects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, one thing I find myself reflecting on often is the stark role of gender. When it comes to the perpetrators of the conflict, the enforced participants of it, the victims of violence, and refugees and how they are perceived. …

Today the UK government announced a cut in fuel duty. What a surprise, after having constantly frozen the tax motorists pay to help subsidise their destructive transport choice, of course, our government want to go one step further to greater enable car drivers. …
