My Visual Journal #37

School is out.

After much debate about whether to share the photos from my recent trip to Florida¹, I decided to include a few of them in today’s edition of My Visual Journal as I see this as a space to explore ideas and experiment freely with my photography.

As I was looking at my set of photos from an abandoned school in rural Florida, I was reminded of my own school days. I also remembered how my bag was always a jumble of loose pages from different classes, notes I had taken during class, decorated with random doodles and ink drips.

This brought up the idea for a zine using my photographs and pairing them with old pages from letters, books, and notebooks.

And here are a few of the photos from that zine:

I started My Visual Journal as an addition to my regular newsletter, sharing the photos I’ve taken during the week on my walks. The idea is simple: more photos, fewer words. It’s sent out every other week, alternating with my regular newsletter, which focuses on a variety of topics — mostly art, photography, and the creative process.
