My better half Elsa & I having a bit of fun in Shoreditch, East London.

I never held my hand out and asked for something free

I got pride I could roll out for miles in front of me

I don't need your help, and I don't need sympathy

I don't need you to lower the bar for me

I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong

I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal and I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be

Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Can someone just know me?

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

We're walking on the ocean, turning water into wine

We bury our emotion and pretend that we're just fine

The only way to live now is to know you're gonna fly

Don't listen to the lying liars and their lies

I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong

I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal, I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be

Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Can someone just know me?

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful

Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful (oh)

I'm tired (oh)

Can I just be tired? (just be tired)

Without piling on all sad and scared and out of time (oh)

I'm wild (wild)

Can I just be wild? (just be wild)

Without feeling like I'm failing and I'm losing my mind

Can someone just hold me?

Don't fix me, don't try to change a thing

Oh, someone just know me

'Cause underneath, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm

I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)

It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, yeah, it's beautiful (it's beautiful)

It's beautiful, yeah, I'm broken and it's beautiful

Thanks to my amazing loving partner Elsa for saving me & continuing to nurse me back to health recovering from a Meningioma benign brain Tumour, which has been successfully removed.

All is well & feel positive for the future :0)

Today, 8th March we celebrate the incredible strength, creativity, and spirit of women around the world. To all the women here—whether you're capturing the world through your lens, sharing your art, or simply being the wonderful individuals that you are—I want to take a moment to thank you for being such an inspiring part of my journey as I have learnt many things from all of you.

Your unique perspectives, your artistry, your kindness, and your determination make this world so much richer. Every photo, every word, and every moment you share on this platform is a testament to your brilliance.

To all the women who lift each other up, who challenge the status quo, and who bring beauty into every corner of the world—today is your day. Let’s continue to support, empower, and celebrate each other, not just today, but every day.

Here's to the women who inspire us, who make us think, and who create the art that moves us. You are truly appreciated, today and always.

With love and admiration,

Repost from last spring.

Queens II

Listen to me, girl,

you have castles inside your bones,

coronets in your heart,

if he threatens you with battle,

you raise him a whole war,

the last time I checked,

Queens cower before no man.

– Nikita Gill

Strength without posing.

Will without words.

Action. Altitude. Silence.

Unity that can’t be staged or borrowed —

only earned.

one says what she thinks.

the other thinks what she says.

and both know:

life’s too short for quiet thoughts.

"When the calls and conversations

Accidents and accusations

Messages and misperceptions

Paralyze my mind

Buses, cars, and airplanes leaving

Burning fumes of gasoline

And everyone is running

And I come to find a refuge in the

Easy silence that you make for me

It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me

And the peaceful quiet you create for me

And the way you keep the world at bay for me

The way you keep the world at bay

Monkeys on the barricades

Are warning us to back away

They form commissions trying to find

The next one they can crucify

And anger plays on every station

Answers only make more questions

I need something to believe in

Breathe in sanctuary in the

Easy silence that you make for me

It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me

And the peaceful quiet you create for me

And the way you keep the world at bay for me

The way you keep the world at bay

Children lose their youth too soon

Watching war made us immune

And I've got all the world to lose

But I just want to hold on to the

Easy silence that you make for me

It's okay when there's nothing more to say to me

And the peaceful quiet you create for me

And the way you keep the world at bay for me"

This is probably the fastest self portrait session I've had, and I loved the results.

Here comes a wave

Meant to wash me away

A tide that is taking me under

Swallowing sand

Left with nothing to say

My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry

And I won't start to crumble

Whenever they try

To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Written in stone

Every rule, every word

Centuries-old and unbending

"Stay in your place"

"Better seen and not heard"

Well, now that story is ending

'Cause I

I cannot start to crumble

So come on and try

Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced

You can't keep me quiet

Won't tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

Speechless

Let the storm in

I cannot be broken

No, I won't live unspoken

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage

I won't just lay me down and die

I will take these broken wings

And watch me burn across the sky

Hear the echo saying I...

Won't be silenced

Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it

All I know is I won't go speechless

Speechless

'Cause I'll breathe

When they try to suffocate me

Don't you underestimate me

'Cause I know that I won't go speechless

All I know is I won't go speechless

Speechless

The well of death or maut ka kuan in India is one of the most thrilling aspects of our visit to any circus, fair or ‘mela’. Such ‘melas’ or gatherings often focus on joy rides and spectacular display of death defying stunts, where bikers encircle a giant hollow structure using only centripetal force to prevent themselves from falling.

Anna, Szczecin in March 2022.

I used my extra "day off" at MeetUp to visit Anna in Szczecin. After a fantastic cake and coffee, we took a walk in the park....

Lindbergh's models, with whom he worked for decades were named Eva, Naomi, Helena and Tatjana. And there were certainly a few others there as well. I am glad that I have found a similar constancy in my photography. With Anna, Marina, Tina and Lisa and a few more, I have a collaboration that now lasts over 10 years. I look forward to photographing with them when they are 65. Even if I then look like a male Jeanne Moreau

Anna, Stettin im März 2022.

Ich nutzte meinen zusätzlichen "freien Tag" am MeetUp, um Anna in Stettin zu besuchen. Nach einem fantastischen Kuchen und Kaffee machten wir einen Spaziergang im Park...

Lindberghs Modelle, mit denen er über Jahrzehnte zusammenarbeitete hießen Eva, Naomi, Helena und Tatjana. Und es gab dort sicher auch noch einige andere. Ich bin froh das ich in meiner Fotografie eine ähnliche Konstanz gefunden habe. Mit Anna, Marina, Tina und Lisa und noch einigen mehr, verbindet mich eine Zusammenarbeit die jetzt schon über 10 Jahre andauert. Ich freue mich drauf mit ihnen zu fotografieren wenn Sie 65 sind. Auch wenn ich dann aussehe wie eine männliche Jeanne Moreau
