One envelope. Everything in it, by hand.
Printed, signed, packed, and sealed at my desk in Seattle, then handed to the mail.
One photograph, 5 × 7
Heavy stock, signed, the one frame that earned the month. With it, a deep green card carrying the edition number, the coordinates of where I stood, and a few lines of field notes.
A letter, to you
It opens with Hey friend, written with coffee nearby, about where I stood and why I waited.
Open slowly
A gold seal across the flap says it. Inside the linen sleeve, a kraft envelope with a small stamp that asks you not to bend it.
Then a shelf, or a frame
5 × 7 fits any standard frame, or just leans where the light lands.
Four have mailed so far, each printed once and never again, hanging in rooms I have never seen.
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.
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!

You will need their mailing address at checkout. Your message rides on a card inside the first envelope, with who it is from. The moment you pay there is a card to print or forward, so there is something to hand over on the day. The last envelope says it is the last; nothing renews and no card is kept.
Every photograph is made, printed, packed, and mailed by me from Seattle.
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, signed, a letter, a numbered card with the coordinates, and a field-notes card, in a sealed linen envelope that stays flat.
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.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Gifts run three, six, or twelve months, paid once, with nothing renewing. Enter their address and a note at checkout and it rides in their first envelope. Order by the 15th and that envelope mails on the 20th. Choose a gift.
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.
