Elisabeth Thurston Fraser and Miya Hirabayashi are about to release the inaugural print edition of Equals, “Exploration,” with essays and photographs devoted to cartography, uncharted territory, nostalgia, and souvenirs. For almost a year, they’ve been publishing contributed work on their site, the Equals Record (you can read my essay, “Being Camera Ready,” there), and have decided to create a new publishing platform that can really showcase content from up-and-coming writers, photographers, and illustrators. It looks beautiful and I wish them much luck!
I’ll be sharing ideas for Mother’s Day gifts next week and this would make a nice addition to the list. (You can buy the book at a reduced rate or purchase a limited edition gift package here.)
Finally, you may have glimpsed a little unusual glamour on my Instagram recently: Friends brought us as guests to the Meals on Wheels SF gala (which raised a whopping $2.165 million—auctioning off things like dinner in your home for you and your lucky friends with a top chef for the likes of $40,000, sometimes many times over). It was an incredible (and delicious) night for a wonderful cause; Meals on Wheels is committed to helping isolated homebound Seniors live independently.
