Just for fun George and I decided we’d throw in a few of our pictures of Hull’s drag artist Ray Millington (AKA Bobby Mandrell and Kandy de Barry) who announced his retirement after 50 years performing. youtu.be/PzGkUKtQ4Ic

Last week I judged a street photography competition. Easier said than done. The process echoed my thoughts on why I continue to approach strangers & take their pictures. Equally importantly, once the picture shot, how to present the story. My thoughts here bit.ly/4hpqMgq
