It’s me (Covid free)! See You Soon, Chicago, Illinois. December, 2022. © Clayton Hauck

I’m on day it feels like twelve of having covid but it seems like I’m about out of the woods (* knocks on wood *…long covid terrifies me). One upside to being sick for a week is that I’ve had a lot of downtime. I’ve put much of that towards building (yet another) website for our Realm photobook popup. I’m aiming to get a soft launch up in the next week or so, and will drop the info here when it’s live.

One really exciting benefit to putting all of this time into selling other peoples’ photography is that I’m schooling myself on many things I didn’t know that I should’ve known. Having somewhat neglected the photo world (esp the fine art part of it) for many years myself, it’s been refreshing to jump back in headfirst and fully submerge myself in all-things-photography. My inspiration levels are quite high, and while I have no shortage of images to share currently, I’m still quite excited to get back out and make new work exploring new areas of the field.
