My thoughts from yesterday night:

Piss off 2016. You sucked balls.
Oh. My. God. What an effed-up year this has been. Goodbye and good riddance. #FU2016 as John Oliver said. He was right, this year was a bad vintage, it drove us stir crazy – just get outta my sight already.
But hang on, dead or alive, we’d better spin round and discuss it a little, or the rest of this page will be entirely blankety blank. Along the way, I’ve got to sneak in some tributes to happenings and people sadly departed this year.
My favourite pictures of my 2016
Some I shot, some others shot of me. Some tell their own story, some are sentimental, some stand out as art, some… well it’s my choice and I don’t have to justify them!

‘No worries, we’ll take the Metro,’ they insisted. So we did.

RIP Edhi – a true modern-day Saint
RIP Abdul Sattar Edhi, a true Saint whose dedication to humanity and incredible humility will never be matched. We should mourn not for him, but for mankind, as there will never be another like him to walk amongst us.
I was privileged to have met him and took this picture of Edhi with my late father, when I interviewed him sometime in the early 90s. It was the only time my dad ever joined me in my work, and only because he wanted to meet Edhi.
It seems all the good people are leaving us now because the world is going to hell.

Does Brexit = Racial Intolerance? I pray not!
Let’s NOT do the Time Warp Again – cause the 1970s sucked if you were a ‘Paki’ in London. And I should know, because I was.
This about to get deeply personal. So much so that I’m not even sure I should publish this, and might well delete it shortly.

I’m on Snapchat
I don’t understand it but I’m on it – and much silliness is sure to ensue!
