I recently published my first note on Substack Notes, and would love for you to join me there!
Notes is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more. I plan to use it as an extension to Nowhere Diary Newsletter, for short form updates and more.
Here are some other things I plan to do on Notes:
Recommend books on photography;
Share links to articles on photography I’m reading;
Showcase other photographers on Substack;
Engage in dialogue with other photographers;
Publish mini-articles too short for a Substack email, but still of potential interest to readers;
Help build a unique and genuine photography community that benefits all.
How to join
Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Nowhere Diary Newsletter, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of Nowhere Diary Newsletter can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Why Substack Notes
Fellow writers and readers are spending time in Notes for a variety of reasons.
Ted Gioia sees Notes as a forum for dialogue.
The idea behind Notes is simple. Millions of people now participate in Substack as writers and readers—but much of this is built on long articles and essays. We now have a forum for dialoguing and sharing shorter posts.
Chris Ryan is drawn to Substack as an alternative for legacy social media.
One of my main reasons for joining Substack was to wean myself off exploitative social media platforms. I’m hoping this is going to help move us along on that journey!
Sherman Alexie wants to create a kind and creative new space in Notes.
I’m going to focus on being positive, with my own thoughts and photos and by linking to songs, stories, poems from around the web and from other Substacks.
If you encounter any issues, you can always refer to the Notes FAQ for assistance. Looking forward to seeing you there!
That’s it for this newsletter!
If you have any suggestions for interviews, features, topics, interesting work or books that I should check out, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or reach out!
Stay safe and keep shooting.
