Was it my first act of self determination?
I was listening to today’s Gibraltar Today discussion on how National Day came about and the issues of self-determination, and was thinking: why is it that it has, to this day, continued to be a central focal issue? Indeed, the SDGG has done absolutely incredible work through the decades, but the fight for self-determination started… Read more

A Conversation About God, Consciousness and Purpose An unexpected conversation about the universe, existence, consciousness, God and what our purpose might be. How Old Is the Universe? Stephen: How old is the universe? And yes, I know it is not exact. It is when they think the Big Bang might have happened, but nobody will… Read more

Beyond Earth: Rethinking Humanity’s Future
There is something rather strange about the way we think about the future. We look at the Moon and see a barren world. We look at Mars and see an inhospitable planet. We look into space and see distance, danger and enormous cost. And yet perhaps we are looking at all of this from entirely… Read more

Slow down, create, and become part of the solution
It’s been a hot summer, hasn’t it? It certainly has for those of us living in southern Europe. Of course, there are always people who will say, “It’s summer—it’s supposed to be hot.” I tend to ignore those comments.

It was September 17, 2016, some three months after the Brexit referendum, that I last crossed the border into Spain. I had already made my decision before then not to bother crossing while the restrictions on Gibraltarians would be so great following Britain’s decision to leave the EU. However, a friend asked me to cover… Read more

I believe the answer lies in the nature of infinity. If infinity truly exists, then it is difficult… Read more

Making “My Streets”
It all started to make sense as the design layout of this book took shape. All the anxieties about what order the images should go in soon dissipated. There was no need to provide an order. The moments captured during a period of some seven years had their own narrative as single captures. Mixed into… Read more

Seeing moments
There was a time back in the late 1980s and early 1990s when such a thing as a digital camera was somewhat a figment of people’s imagination. Then came the personal computer with its digital imaging software, the digital cameras and, of course, the debate. Oh God, do I remember the debate… all photography would… Read more

NOGAF
What makes this series important is not the artist behind it, but the communication itself.The work is designed to speak directly, openly and without elitism. Art, after all, is a language. If it cannot communicate, if it becomes so abstract that nobody can connect with it, then it risks becoming decoration for intellectual circles rather… Read more

From blank to magic
You look at the blank page—white, threatening, scary. It’s that moment when you are about to start.That fear seeps through your body, like a shivering tremble, where for a moment you dread beginning. “What if I make a mistake? So clean, such a waste.” You pause. Doubt yourself. And in that moment, it’s the difference… Read more
