My Visual Journal #79
Week 31
This is the first attempt at sharing a sequence of photos I have created, not from a single walk, but from different moments over one week. If you are wondering where the change is coming from, I wrote about it last week.
I started “My Visual Journal” as an addition to my regular newsletter to share the photos I make during the week. The overall idea is “more photos, fewer words.” Over time, I realized it is also a great way to practice curating, selecting, and sequencing a set of photographs and turning them into a short narrative.
I send out a new edition every other week, alternating with my regular newsletter, which covers various topics but primarily focuses on art, photography, and the creative process.
Here is the link to past editions of “My Visual Journal”.
As always, thank you for being here! ❤️

Last week, I invited everyone to another round of “Call & Response”.1 This time I chose this image:
If you feel inspired by this photo and would like to collaborate, you can create a response (or pick something you have already made) and send it to me. It doesn’t have to be a photo — it could be a drawing, a collage, poetry, or other writing, whatever feels right to you. I’ll then pair it with my photograph and share all the results in my newsletter next Thursday.
If you’d like to join me, please send your response by August 11th.2 I’m looking forward to seeing what you create.

So lovely. And I really dig the textured nature.
