Australian Aboriginal People in Colonial Chains. Western Australia, circa 1900. This photograph depicts Australian Aboriginal people wearing iron neck chains while in colonial custody. Such metal collars and chains were widely used by British colonial authorities during the 19th and early 20th centuries to transport and detain Indigenous Australians. By the time the British First Fleet arrived in 1788, Aboriginal peoples had inhabited the Australian continent for more than 65,000 years, representing hundreds of distinct nations with their own languages, traditions, and cultures. Colonization was accompanied by armed conflict, the seizure of Indigenous lands, the spread of introduced diseases, the mass displacement of Aboriginal communities, and discriminatory government policies. Together, these factors led to the dramatic decline of many Indigenous populations and the destruction of traditional ways of life. Historians continue to debate the exact size of Australia's pre-colonial population and the full scale of the demographic losses. However, there is broad agreement that this period was one of profound suffering for the continent's Indigenous peoples. The photograph serves as a historical document, reminding us of the human cost of colonization and of the lives of those whose rights and dignity were systematically violated for decades.

We know the iconic Rosa Parks bus photograph was staged. If you had to guess: who orchestrated and funded the “Rosa Farts” photo op and made sure the fake media and left-wing pundits amplified the narrative?

There is something haunting about this photograph. Not because of what it shows—but because of what it doesn't. The young woman smiling into the camera had no way of knowing that almost everything she loved was about to vanish. Her name was Charlotte Salomon, a brilliant German-Jewish artist whose life would become one of the Holocaust's most heartbreaking stories. As Nazi persecution tightened around her, Charlotte made a decision that seems almost impossible to comprehend. Instead of surrendering to despair, she painted. Not one painting. Not ten. More than 1,300. Working at extraordinary speed while hiding in southern France, she transformed her memories, family tragedies, romances, nightmares, and hopes into a vast series she called Life? or Theater? Part autobiography, part stage play, part confession, it remains unlike anything else in the history of art. Every page feels like someone racing against time, determined to leave behind proof that they existed. Those closest to her later recalled that before entrusting the paintings to a friend for safekeeping, Charlotte simply said, "Take good care of it. It is my whole life." She was right. In 1943, Charlotte was arrested. She was five months pregnant. She was deported to Auschwitz. Within hours of arriving, she was murdered. The child she was carrying never had the chance to be born. Yet somehow, Charlotte still refused to disappear. The paintings she left behind survived the war, preserving not only her remarkable talent but her voice, her humor, her grief, and the ordinary moments the Nazis tried to erase forever. This photograph captures one of the last moments before history reached out and shattered her future. She lost her life. But she did not lose her story. #archaeohistories

It was difficult for me to decide to share this photograph. A russian missile killed an entire family. Will this photograph stop the war? Most likely not. But I believe the world needs to see the truth. I hope those whom this photograph will cause pain can forgive me. Kyiv, July 6, 2026.

I can't see any human in that photograph, so I assume that at least two of the sheep in the background are named Dale.

Nobody can say my clients for photoshoots are not many and varied. I was commissioned recently to photograph Father Paschal at St Mary’s Church in Somers Town, London. An absolute pleasure to meet him and we got quite a few photographs that they loved. This is one of my favourites from the shoot. As always, it’s all about the light and churches have some of the most beautiful natural light.

I recently went to Ireland to photograph puffins. I was always fascinated by them and it was a lot of fun to observe them for several days. And we were fortunate with some nice light.

I can't help noticing that nobody in that photograph has his hand up.
