🧵 Quick follow-up: missed a few things in the thread because so much is happening right now in photography! but had to include these incredible sales and moments! thank you to everyone who brought them to my attention: • Ebb and Flow turned 4. @tjthorne_photo reflected on connection, memory, and presence. Over the years he’s gifted 1/1s, monographs, airdrops, and river vials to holders as a thank-you. • @billiedinh shared an honest update on the grind of being a full-time artist. This week, 3 of 5 works from his TOUCH series — “Crush,” “Hideaway,” and “Sweet” — found new homes. Notable collectors: @YamashitaPhoto and @GuyNorcal. Only two 1/1s remain. • @badgerdrft released New Zealand, Through My Eyes, a heartfelt photo journey with his daughter across the South Island. A return to 1/1s, now live on Transient. • @gulyildizart’s Meme Card drop is complete. 203 minted with strong community support and moving visual storytelling. • @Abrahanny’s Blooming has quietly sold 31 editions. A haunting, powerful series. • @photosbyswati re-listed Raven In The Middle Of Somewhere — a monochrome, cinematic exploration of mythology, identity, and surrender. • Open call from @ricardotakamura: “Water in Focus” is now live. 150 photographs will be selected for an audiovisual exhibition at the Campos de Luz Festival, Brazil, October 18–19. Submissions are free and open until Sept 30. I appreciate the tags and messages. Keep ‘em coming!
