In 14 years that I鈥檝e been going into Downing Street for photography the Met officers have always been friendly & professional. I follow their orders & am friendly in return. Today was the first time ever I encountered someone rude, arrogant & trying to humiliate with no reason.

I sincerely hope this is not true. I researched some of my master鈥檚 thesis here, and used it for work related research for many years (prior to my photography work). Its reading rooms are fantastic. The collection, and access to it, should never be privatises. Full stop.
Privatisation of British Library:View quoted post on X
To be asset stripped, destroyed like water companies & Royal Mail:
BL management will close reading rooms, converting them into paid, private spaces operated by commercial company.
They propose outsourcing in-house security.
Stop this rip-off.
A few shots from the Christie's 'Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds including Rugs and Carpets' photocall. I was very tired this morning, but the vibrant rugs and intricate patters cheered me up, I always genuinely enjoy photographing these works of art. Pics at the agencies.
And a couple of shots from the Diwali fireworks at Neasden Temple. They were at a tricky to photograph angle this year (usually, they are sort of behind the temple which makes for a vibrant foreground), but still very enjoyable. HAPPY DIWALI to all who celebrate.
And some shots from the Diwali celebrations at Neasden Temple. Lovely atmosphere, always very welcoming!
