Tony O’Shea’s bewitching image, taken on the upper deck of a city bus, finds the magic in the everyday

The Irish writer Colm Tóibín was first introduced to the photographs of Tony O’Shea when he was an editor at a magazine called In Dublin back in the late 1970s. O’Shea was in the habit of coming to the magazine’s office every other Friday with a cardboard box containing a fortnight’s black-and-white prints, pictures he’d taken around the city’s streets.

I enjoyed this article by TimAdamsWrites about Tony O’Shea's iconic photo. It brought to mind the great Ken Loach film 'Kes', which is one of the greatest films of the 20th century. A triumph in humanity. Kes KenLoach

Siblings barred from posing in same school photographFamilies looking forward to a picture of siblings will be disappointed this year MichaelYeadon3 has done an amazing podcast explaining what the situation is. I urge everyone to listen in-full & share (it’s long but worth it). Then make up your own mind, research the points in it if you need to. Everyone boycott the school photograph. Sorted. I know its awful, the Conservatives are still in power. It's ok though we can get rid of them, there is light at the end of the ten year long, very dark tunnel. CummingsMustGo UKGovernmentMustGo
