From the September letter
No. 03 · The Vantage
Hi friend,
Here’s the thing about a vantage point. You only get one if you stop moving. You have to pause long enough to actually look. When you finally pause, you start noticing what still matters.
The photograph in this envelope is one of those pauses. Soft light, real weather, a real sunset where I stood in one place longer than was comfortable. Nobody generated it. Now it’s here, in your hands.
That’s what this club has become. It started as me mailing a photograph. It’s turning into a small group of people, in cities I’ve never been to, who all opened the same envelope this week and slowed down for a minute. Every month there are a few more of you. Every month the map gets a little bigger.
Thanks for being on this side of it with me.

Excerpted. The full letter went out with Edition No. 03. Letters back find me at PO Box 9085, Seattle, WA 98109. I read everything.
What arrives each month
To hold
An original photograph
Printed on quality paper stock. One month, one frame, made to keep long after the light has moved on.
To read
The story of the light
A short letter on the season, the hour, and what pulled me to the picture.
To keep
A numbered edition
A growing record of quiet light, one month at a time. A collection that gathers weight as it goes.
We just opened your October mail. This is my favorite photograph yet! Love this kind of geometric abstraction.
Like a magazine that has issues, there are so many styles, seasons, messages, things to experiment with. I used to work for a magazine and that’s what it’s reminding me of.
Love the color, paper weight, texture, font, and the message! Fantastic job!

Questions, answered
When does my first print arrive?
Join by October 19 and Edition No. 04 mails October 20. After that, each edition mails on the 20th of the month. Most US addresses have it within a week.
What exactly shows up?
A 5 × 7 photograph printed on quality paper stock, signed and numbered, and a short letter about the light behind it, sealed in a stiff, stay-flat envelope.
Do I get to choose the photograph?
No, and that’s half the point. Each month is where I was and the single frame that earned the envelope. You find out what it is when you open it.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere. US memberships are $15 a month with shipping included; international memberships are $18 a month. The difference is postage. International takes two to four weeks, depending on your local post.
Will I be charged automatically?
Yes. Your first payment covers Edition No. 04. Your next charge is November 5, and then the 5th of each month until you cancel.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, no hoops. Use the link in any receipt, or just reply to one of my emails and I’ll take care of it the same day.
What if it arrives damaged?
It ships protected, but mail is mail. Send me a photo and a replacement goes out at no charge.
One photograph a month, wherever the light was.
