Small Town Inertia volumes 1 and 2, social documentary photography books by Jim Mortram
I received the new volumes of Small Town Inertia by @smalltowninertia.bsky.social this week.
Incredible work, thank you Jim.
I'd echo words used elsewhere, social documentary at its finest.

#smalltowninertia Some lovely feedback on both books.
(I’m still fighting to get all my META linked accounts returned but it is AI help & zero human)

Except, I’m not, all your help, sharing, endorsing, featuring is incredibly appreciated & the single most vital aspect.

#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!.

#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.

#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.

Simon calling his father from hospital from Vol 2.
#smalltowninertia
I got to spend some time speaking with Simon’s father Ian today, a really illuminating, warm & heartfelt conversation. After Simon’s funeral I think we will meet up & make an interview.
Simon had an estimated 20k plus seizures during his life.

#smalltowninertia Only another £10 needed in donations & even in his passing Simon will yet again have made a defiant act to raise awareness of the epilepsy that tragically was the cause of his own passing this week.
I’m so proud of you Champ!. Always ❤️✌️

#smalltowninertia Many of the pictures in Vol 2 were made with film, developed & printed by hand & you want to know how what importance that is?… Absolutely fuck all.
The only thing that matters is the story, the testimony. I don’t care how a picture is made.
