My Neighbour Totoro (1988) has long been one of my favourite Studio Ghibli films, so when I saw that the Barbican was adopting it I just had to go along. Even before I saw the superb reviews.

Photography: #DepecheMode
I’ve always been a big fan of Depeche Mode, the phenomenal electronic band from Basildon. They’ve been around since 1981, and their latest album Momento Mori was as great as ever. I was lucky enough to see them again at Twickenham stadium 10 years after the last time.

I took this as part of the El Grito celebrations in San Luis Potosi. It’s a Mexican ceremony that celebrates the church bell being rung that triggered the Mexican War of Independence in 1810.
Photography: Arctic Monkeys
A montage from my recent gig at Emirates Stadium to see Sheffield artists Arctic Monkeys perform hits from The Car tour. The Hives opened (“Hate to Say I Told You So” being a highlight) before Alex Turner and co played “Body Paint” and There’d Better be a Mirrorball, as well as classics like “Do I Wanna Know?”, “Brianstorm” and “Why do you Only Call me When you’re High?”

Taken in Tequila, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. While it is famous for a certain type of alcoholic drink, of course, it’s also a pretty little town too.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the long radio silence. A lot has been going on. But I promise to be putting up more posts soon. I’ll be catching up on your blogs too. This is from the Harry Potter Experience in Covent Garden, London.
Photography: Super Cute Squirrel Photo
This delightful image was taken by Dutch/Swedish international photographer Geert Weggen, who has been specialising in squirrels for the past few years. You can find more examples of her work here. There’s been a lot going on, so sorry for not being on so much recently.
Photography: Ocean Photographer of the Year 2021
As someone who grew up a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I just had to share this incredible shot of one from the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. It was taken by specialist underwater photographer Aimee Jan, and won the Ocean Photographer of the Year 2021, as run by Oceanographic Magazine.

Another glorious sunset.
