In some ways, few ways, Star Wars 9 is the best movie I have seen in the series. In some ways, many ways, it’s the worst. And the baffling aspect is that all the negatives come down to poor storytelling. This, under the direction of Disney, the absolute, undisputed masters of the art. Or so […]

I’m writing the beginning of this article in an AirBnB in the elegant La Condesa suburb of Mexico City. The trip is a family adventure – I might not have had reason come here otherwise. It’s a vast city – as you’d expect with more than nine million residents. And, despite all those souls, the […]

A few weeks ago, new DearSusan contributor John Shingleton, told us of an undestination in his adopted home (Australia).

Ah, the wonderful time for New Year’s resolutions is upon us again. Such a shame that those are really just wishful thinking and fail 99% of the time, I really wanted to be rich, handsome and famous this year 😉 Still, ouch, making a formal wish about life changes at a highly symbolic date may […]

So, 2019 is soon to be over. What has it changed to our (photographic) world over the course of this year? Are the doom and gloom forecasts coming true? Are we the Last Dinosaurs? The roll call of the departed, or soon to be departing. Posts summarizing events over a year start with such […]

Paul had been trying to arrange this get-together for months and I could sense his rising level of frustration as our diaries refused to co-operate. Then finally it looked like the stars might be aligning. I already had a date to be in London for an Underworld gig at Wembley, Paul was due to fly […]
