Portfolio Zine
made a self-promotional portfolio zine:
A Photography Substack Experiment: A Community-Curated Zine
brought together a group of street photographers for a community experiment—each submitting five photos, voting on their favorites, and sharing the stories behind them. The result is a digital zine featuring 17 compelling images and the narratives that bring them to life.

A Zine to Download, Print & Distribute
This week I collaborated with to turn his post Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important into a printable zine.
I wrote this for people who, like me, have spent much of the past few weeks hoping that somebody else would do something bolder in this political movement. We are downtrodden because we’re full of rage and heartbreak, but the polls tell us that our neighbors don’t share those feelings. We realize we’re seeing something that so many aren’t, but we’re not sure how to bridge the gap. We have wished (appropriately) for bravery from our media, from elected Democrats, from public officials in general. However fair those wishes are, they come with a risk: that we miss the opportunity to be the lonely voice for justice in our own community, the person who makes it a little easier for a second and third and fourth lonely voice to start perking up by our side.
Please feel free to print, share and distribute to your local coffee shops, free little libraries, friends, family and community.
