The year in numbers.
It's been a busy few days at Photographic Dispatches, working on what's next for this project. As discussed in issue №8, plans were formed to reconfigure the newsletter.
Tim Trautmann
I'm pleased with the progress on that front. The newsletter is now hosted on Ghost.org, and all subscribers were successfully moved to this new home. This move should also be entirely transparent for paid subscribers. The only difference is that I'm pocketing 10% more of your generous contributions to this project moving forward.
Fieldwork will resume in the coming days. There is also a collaboration in the works that I want to talk about soon.
Thank you for your support. Please consider supporting this newsletter by passing it on to a friend (there is no longer a like button). I’d surely appreciate it.
