Tom Griggs / "El Inquilino" Podcast

To Experience “El Inquilino” DOWNLOAD TOTIM APPPhotographer and educator Tom Griggs joins TOTIM to discuss El Inquilino, a series made in Mexico City during the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally planning a short stay, Griggs spent three years photographing daily life as the city quieted and adapted. He describes how the project evolved from his background in fine art into a form of expanded documentary, blending observation and subjectivity to capture the mood of isolation and stillness. Griggs reflects on his process of shooting thousands of images, editing them into cohesive sequences and allowing time and memory to shape his understanding of the work. El Inquilino offers a sublimely intimate portrait of life in a city during a strange and extraordinary time.Exposures 009 Hosted by TOTIM Founder/ Director Luke Mertz Get full access to TOTIM at totim.substack.com/subscribe

Secret Harbour Sessions - Independent Alternative View Tony Lambert Unbiased reporting and updated exposures of globalism's controlled demolition of society. Stories by English Authors: London F. Anstey, J. M. Barrie, Marie Corelli, Beatrice Harraden, Arthur Morrison, Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, Israel Zangwill This book collects seven short stories by some of England's best turn-of-the-(last)-century's writers. The collection begins with the humor of J. M. Barrie, of Peter Pan fame. A later and equally humorous story is by Israel Zangwill, also widely known for his exposures of social and economic problems. The immensely popular Marie Corelli’s contribution is the last, and among the most moving. (NB: Though a less prominent writer than some represented here, Corelli was so popular that her literary sales exceeded those of Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells and Rudyard Kipling – combined.) In short, these writers offer great variety as to style, tone and topic, ranging from breezy tales to poignant proofs of the kindness and grace that can underlie the deepest tragedies. But while diverse, these writers have in common that they clearly know and clearly express genuine emotional truth. They hold our attention by conveying their stories honestly. They have no need for the tricks and devices of me
