The Bungled & The Botched

Jim Mortram's sensitive portrayal of those on the margins of rural England. He says - "For the last 18 months together with people on or far beyond the outskirts of my local Market towns community I have been recording through collaborative environmental portraiture, interviews and straight documentary shoots their life stories and memories. Often overlooked and unseen by the people around them or seen and judged without the care for the stories that are there to be shared and rich bonds to be forged, a strata of honest reality and remembering these are moments of daily endurance and musings that in a generation will have passed forever." Market Town is showing at Frank's Bar in Norwich from 11th - 30th October

Masters & Servants

The appearance of informal street traders seems to have become a regular feature of contemporary life lately.

In it he suggests that an absence of human interaction in the trading has created ‘financial weapons of mass destruction’ which initiated the financial meltdown in 2008.
