That’s what happens as a result of lies. Disgraceful.

I’m & always have been as transparent as a pane of glass so AMA, I’m always honest, sometimes to my own cost as it’s been abused by others, I’ve zero reason to not be.

In fact the essay, I left the worst stuff out of it.

full police report, no further action required, all images were made & distributed with full informed consent.

What was not consensual was Ma having to recount her childhood trauma to a stranger, a male detective, in her bedroom. “it felt like another rape because I had no say” her words.

Knowing full well it’s a photograph depicting an epileptic seizure of my 75 year old Ma wearing a Covid mask. A photograph she requested & demanded be published.

As a result of that malicious lie we had to endure a visit IRL from sexual crimes detectives.

Of course, I have a copy of the

anyone of lying or adding sprinkles onto a truth, is insane.

I’ll give you an example of malicious lies;

Anonymously sending this photograph of my Ma having a seizure to the Police stating “He’s making BDSM porn of vulnerable females in lingerie & masks”

I’m not addressing these ‘opinions’ because I feel slighted but in light of them casting unfounded aspersions upon the testimony entrusted to me to amplify, I am.

Better still, Cathreen says it herself.

Im fine with anyone not liking my photography or the way I write but to accuse

Jim here. Every word of my essay is true. Every picture I’ve ever made is with 100% informed consent the same with every word of testimony.

Everyone I collaborate with I love like family & it’s mutual, that’s why we still do it 16 years later.
