After a lifetime of using photography to look outward, NORMALTOWN is my first foray into trying to understand how the camera can point inward. When I was seven, my mother left my father, ferrying my sister and me from upstate New York, to Athens, Georgia, to take her first job as a librarian. My mother is an orphan and a survivor.  I got my first camera at this time.  My earliest photographs were of the street sign obelisk in front of my house. One survives. It is saying little more thanhold me here. Normaltown was where I learned that the camera can care for you. Your life may have come apart. The story of your family may have come up sputtering and silent. But the camera keeps telling your story, over and over.

— Tim Davis

Years in the making, with many return trips to Athens, Georgia. and environs  — and decades in its conception, Tim Davis’ NORMALTOWN is an invitation to rip the tape off our schoolyard and other wounds of our youngling days and wobble our way back to being eleven again.
