I used #PortfolioDay as my motivation to finally finish redoing my photo site: photos.shom.dev/

I'm am a photographer and I enjoy landscape and underwater photography. I've been shooting mostly film lately and trying to get better at developing & scanning at home, I also hope to be able to darkroom print one day. Film has reinvigorated my love for photography and I've found a great community here on the Fediverse, thank you!

The older works don't have alt-text but I'm working on adding it to all photos. Please share any ideas or feedback you have. I would also love to hear stories about folks who started in digital and have fallen deeper and deeper in the film rabbit hole process.

Cross-party campaign group Compass have released ‘RESET: Winning a Decade of National Renewal’, a new publication focused on how the Labour government can establish the ‘decade of national renewal’ promised in their 2024 election manifesto.

"At a time of...declining public popularity, and new options on the left between the Green Party and the potential new Zarah Sultana/Jeremy Corbyn-led party, ‘RESET’ discusses what Labour can do now to bring themselves back in the eyes of the public."
