#smalltowninertia THANK YOU!. 🙏 I’m quite obviously in the middle of being a one man PR team for vol 2 of SMALL TOWN INERTIA. Except, I’m not, all your help, sharing, endorsing, featuring is incredibly appreciated & the single most vital aspect.

There’s no secret other than sacrifices & hard fucking work. Anyone selling you different is a fucking con job. Even if you do those two things, nothing might ever happen… other than the purest truth, the photography you make will be made with dedication & passion.

Every modern street portrait?. Not rage bait, it’s simply what I’m reminded of when I look at 99% of street portraits made in the last 20 years, people in clothes looking at people holding cameras as they collaborate in the making of content.

I let experience evolve my mind rather than permitting random individuals free run in changing it. Experience doesn’t have ulterior motives & never lies.

#smalltowninertia ZINE 1 SIGNAL TO NOISE Coming soon…

You go a rung up the ladder, find someone amazing & help them a rung up too. Some will drag you down to get ahead, some will support you & help you upwards, they are the ones you keep helping upwards. The way you treat people on the journey is as much a part of your work as the work you make.

A lot of people ask me why I do what I do & this is without question one of the fundamental reasons ❤️

#smalltowninertia James & I had a great afternoon together as it was James’s first time looking at the new hardcovers. James gave a running review of the books & what they mean to him, why b&w is perfect & a whole load more observations. As soon as I’ve edited them together we will share!.

@apkeedle.bsky.social Thanks for the shares buddy X

So far, SMALL TOWN INERTIA has lost Stu, Jimmy, Eugene, Damien, Simon. Each grief has been devastating. It, though, only strengthens my resolve to preserve testimony that endures time beyond life, to make my community eternal, to not be statistics to be forgotten & foresaken.

#smalltowninertia Donate to @epilepsyaction in honour is Simon “Champ” who passed away this week after injuries sustained following an Atonic drop seizure. It’s estimated Simon endured over 20,000 plus seizures during his life. ig.me/1RdXTZ7WWJrq...

@ashroplad.bsky.social thanks for sharing Nigel. X

#smalltowninertia There are so many pictures that had to be left out of Vol 1 & 2, already large books. So I’m planning on a series of zines sharing this work, testimony & interviews & brand new work/out takes as I work on Vol 3.
