The Weekly Diary
I shall create a world for myself
The 3rd edition of The Weekly Diary is here.
Today I’m launching an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the continuous life of Nowhere Diary. Life has changed in many ways for many, including myself and with the collapse of social media, we are going through dark times right now, both for photographers and creatives but also for people in general.
In order to be able to continue working on Nowhere Diary, I am going to need your help.
For those of you not familiar with Nowhere Diary, I founded Nowhere Diary 4 years ago on a cold February evening, where I created the Instagram account with no idea or knowledge of what was ahead or the impact it would have on the photography community.
The rest is history and Nowhere Diary is now, more than I ever could have imagined. A unique platform for photographers. A thriving community of passionate people with an endless love for photography. Well not “just” a community, I feel that Nowhere Diary is family. I like the idea that we are all connected like a family, which makes this community even stronger. I feel very strongly for Nowhere Diary, and with the amount of time I put into Nowhere Diary, it really pisses me off to see Instagram and Twitter getting destroyed from within, making it even harder to keep Nowhere Diary alive.
Luckily there are people like the team at
who push the boundaries, go up stream, against the current, constantly blowing us all away with genius new updates and put Musk, Mosseri and Zuckerberg to earth shattering shame. Substack makes the future look bright and hopeful for all of us, passionate creatives.Substack has also become one of my new favorite tools, when creating the unique world of Nowhere Diary. But even though Substack is an amazing tool, I still need all your support in order to keep Nowhere Diary, my heart and my soul, alive.
Therefore today, I am coming forward, to ask for your help.
Please consider supporting my campaign and let me continue my never ending quest to support you and other photographers, to share, inspire and keep doing what I love.
Chat
This week I also launched a new thread on my Substack newsletter Chat, featuring my favorite photo books. My goal is to grow it into an archive of my favorite photo books and a for future reference.
Currently, it is only available on mobile devices so if you haven’t already, you should definitely download the (free) Substack Reader and join my thread.
Here is a quick guide so you can get started.
How to get started
Download the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. Chat is only on iOS for now, but it’s coming to Android soon.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
Toggle your notifications. Make sure you turn on push notifications, so you don’t miss anything. You can turn notifications on and off for select chats.
That’s it! You should be all set. Let me know if you have any questions or if there’s anything else I can do to help. See you there?
Anyway, I hope you will have a beautiful Sunday and looking forward to presenting you with more new stuff in the next edition of The Weekly Diary.

Hey Kim! I’m sure you have, but have you considered a paid newsletter here at Substack? Curious your though process on the Indiegogo vs a paid Newsletter.
