“Nostalgia is a seductive liar, but its political power is real.” Very good article by @tommctague.bsky.social on an issue which has never been more relevant.

#smalltowninertia2 Done. Small Town Inertia 2 is sequenced & barring any last minute photographs I’m able to make it’s ready for print.

Final tasks for me, check all the testimony, get the introductions in (from some very special people!)

I’ll share pre-order info in a matter of weeks.

I’m sure people know already that there’s no algorithm on here, so if you want to help get fellow creatives’ work seen then reposting is the only way to do that. Likes are nice but won’t boost their posts in people’s timelines.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

The Pond.
In a thicket of trees at the side of a busy road a pond springs into life after any period of heavy rain. Diesel and petrol runoff from the road creates a luminescence over its surface.

A favour please. If you actually like my images pls consider reposting as well as liking. Thank you.

Ernst Haas was a master of color photography. He shot for LIFE and Magnum but he also had an abstract streak. A new show at Les Douches La Gallery in Paris features images he made in NYC which, with its cacophony of colors, bright lights, & wild reflections, proved a perfect fun-house hunting ground
