[We’re renaming the Photo Digest to Glass City, about photography, writing, creativity, and urbanism. It will be shared every other week, usually on Tuesdays, but that may be subject to change. I always struggled with what to call the newsletter. Or perhaps it’s better to use the term column, since that has a […]

*Note: I recently redid my entire website archive, including the documentary section and the prints section. I organized, edited, and keyworded 1,163 photos, also creating a super fun searchable archive.

Back to Tuesday mornings (besides this email), back to photographing, walking, and avoiding marathon work months. Or seasons. Between writing 3/4ths of a book
Hey all, I have a couple of super exciting announcements. This has been taking up all my free time lately so I’m so relieved to finally have it in place, share it, and start getting back in the regular swing of things. And sleeping. Almost there, it’s been a grind. The first is that Miwa
