Manchester based photographer - wandering around with a camera when I can.https://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lob4y5rpns2gBeen digging through my archive again and came across these two pictures. In 2010 I was lucky enough to spend a few days on Val Kilmer's ranch about 25 miles from Santa Fe next to the Pecos River in New Mexico. A wild and magical place.03 May 2025 10:29 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lob4y5rpns2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lnagsryx3c2uFrom my walk today - hope you all have a great Easter weekend.20 Apr 2025 10:27 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnagsryx3c2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3ln2x6o4sbc2eThe last picture in this short series - The Belgians at play....This week we have had food, drink, street theatre, the market and for Friday some music.18 Apr 2025 06:04 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3ln2x6o4sbc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lmygdzh3mc2dAlong with the food, drink and street entertainment - you can buy a pair of boots !17 Apr 2025 05:57 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmygdzh3mc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lmw2xi7ytc26Continuing this week's theme of the Belgians at play.16 Apr 2025 07:28 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmw2xi7ytc26https://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lmtinjdkg22bContinuing this week's theme of people watching in Waterloo, Belgium....The Belgians at play. always food and strong beer.15 Apr 2025 06:55 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmtinjdkg22bhttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lmqyyy4mbk2cWe lived in Waterloo, Brussels, Belgium between 2006 and 2010.

A bit of self promotion for a Tuesday.

Their story’s were recorded. I took some pictures as the people told their story’s. A deliberate choice so not to run it like a portrait session. For me a big change using colour and portraits!11 Dec 2024 07:59 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lczbxbusrc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lckkkqb5ws2tThanks to @glasgowwestend.bsky.social for the kind comments. Here is part of a short clunky/crude video I made of Mary telling her story of growing up in Maryhill. I have more Faces & Echoes which were recorded over a weekend at Maryhill Burgh Halls in Nov 2011..alas the Kelvin Dock Bar has gone !05 Dec 2024 11:23 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lckkkqb5ws2thttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lcif2rcoxc2aEvery now and then I get the notion that I can do colour. So I am going back a couple of years to re-visit some pictures I took in Glasgow, in 2021. Like the old Evening Times sign the pictures I will post over the coming days were taken in Maryhill.04 Dec 2024 14:39 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcif2rcoxc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lc74iomazc2mBeen collating a few family pictures- Granddaughter.30 Nov 2024 22:12 +0000at://did:plc:ytqeeao7trd3fv3jfc64wx67/app.bsky.feed.post/3lc74iomazc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/jostreen.bsky.social/post/3lboy3s4qgk2pI have three active projects, I keep adding to them when I can.
