With my community I help make long form photography stories that broadcast the realities of being marginalised.

You can get an education in photography by watching Paul Auster's 'SMOKE'.

That's why I've quoted some of the dialogue in my preface to SMALL TOWN INERTIA Vol 2

“You’ll never get it… if you don’t slow down my friend.”

#smalltowninertia2 I wish photographers valued their life experience as much as manufacturers of their tools.

The lives lived inform what to do with the tool.

#smalltowninertia2 What does long form photography mean to me?.

I made this portrait with Julie 15 years ago, she was the first person to wish me happy birthday today.

Thanks Julie!.

All repect & love to Chris & to his loved ones.
Chris, your work & the work you made with EXIT had a huge impact upon my life.

You showed me what a photobook could be, something more than a stutus symbol or a coffee table book. Something deeper, something that cuts a line through time.

Five bucks a month (Localised pay = where you are it’ll use your currency!) or £3.72 is all it takes to become a supporting member at Buy me a coffee enabling me to not stay ever deeper in debt to make this work!.
