Broken Biscuits is a blog about documentary photography, doing my best to live lightly, and the joys of antidepressant withdrawal syndrome.
This is also the home of the The Gravesend Journal. Publishing documentary photography stories from Gravesend and the wider Gravesham community. My health has forced me to pause for a while, but I’m aiming to restart documenting stories in early 2027. You can read more on The Gravesend Journal page.
I’m self-studying the history of European conflict photography and its representation in the media. I don’t have an end in mind; I study because I’m interested and I enjoy the process.
None of the posts here is necessarily finished. Think of them more as my thoughts at the time. I aim to revisit and update them often.
I’ve recently been struggling with Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome. Having stopped taking Amitriptyline in July 2025, I found it difficult to find personal accounts of others going through the same. I hope my experience helps someone. If you’re interested, you can read more here.
