Not a single image but an iconic sequence. To win a bet in 1878 that at some point all four hooves of a running horse were off the ground Eadward Muybridge set up a line of big Victorian plate cameras and trip wires. He won the bet, advanced the idea of action photography no end, pretty much...

Arguably one of Cartier-Bresson’s most famous photos. He popularised 35mm photography, defined the phrase and practice of capturing “the decisive moment” and probably founded the idea of street photography too. He would pretend to sneeze or raise a tissue to his face so no one would notice him...

The Queen, alone, wearing a face mask, at Prince Phillip's funeral. All the more iconic now we know what was going on in Downing Street.

I went to a talk by Steve McCurry and was a bit disappointed by his methods, while appreciating his honesty. There's no denying the images are incredible, but some of his very striking more candid looking photos are basically set up and planned which diminished them a bit for me - I think it was...

A few years ago I was at an informal charity auction where press photographers raised money by selling prints of their work. There was a guy there who from memory worked for The Sun and chatting to him it was incredible how much history he'd been present and witness to over a period of maybe 30...

Good of them to move the far goal a bit nearer to the corner flag so you could still see it.

Anyone know what's going on with Seagull Travel for this one? Nothing on the website, and I noticed that when Newcastle coach spaces sold out they left it up but with a sold out label and that's not the case for this.

I've posted on here before about most of my family being Newcastle fans - my grandfather was from Blaydon and a huge Newcastle supporter and we've got strong ties to the area. Before the game I visited the memorial stone outside the ground to both my grandfather and my uncle which was special...

Haven’t used it since the early 90s. There used to be a shop on Queens Road in around 1994 that sold gym supplements. They sold me some ephedrine (not pseudo, the real thing). In hindsight absolutely no idea if that was legal then but that was amazing for an all-nighter whether writing essays or...

“Best” is such a value judgment and so subjective it’s hard to say. Loads of people think Shawshank Redemption is one of the best films ever made but I’d sooner sit through the April 2019 0-0 away at Wolves again than endure that film a second time. In my view it’s that bad. (I appreciate this...

We could honour our South American contingent by going with Walon, who seem to make many club and national teams kits there.

The just after lockdown come back against City when we had to sit a few seats apart from each other and the noise and atmosphere were still incredible in a stadium just a third(?) full. And the Macallister last minute penalty winner against United was cathartic too and a special moment.

An epic tune to start the day, recognisable to all from the Amex I’m sure. From the soundtrack to the (underrated imho) film Plunkett & Macleane.

As I made my way to the concourse at half time in a the middle of a sea of chuntering mostly miserable fans a young guy behind me said "cheer up, we'll get three goals 2nd half and win". I wish I'd seen who it was so I could have asked him for the lottery numbers after the game!
