             <p><em>Friends of a Long Year</em> is a private mailing list that delivers <a href="/jrnl/">journal posts</a> from this site to your inbox like it's still 1995. It's written in the spirit of Mary Austin. And Mike’s emails. A more detailed explaination can be found <a href="/jrnl/2020/11/invitation">here</a>.</p>

-            <p><em>Range</em> is a weekly mailing of a single photograph. </p>
-            <p>If you're interested there is also a link to a video of the RAW image processing in <a href="https://www.darktable.org/">darktable</a>, and sometimes a few words about the process. But the primary purpose is to deliver a single photo to your inbox. Simple and fun.</p>
-            <p>Yes, I know about Instagram. This is an attempt to reclaim that space, sharing photos with friends, but without all the distractions of the corporate social web, without the endless scroll of photos, likes, stories, comments, whatever. This is just an image delivered once a week to your inbox. I've been trying to think of a way to make it reciprocal, so you can send a picture to my inbox. If you have ideas, <a href="mailto:comments@luxagraf.net">email me</a>.</p>

I had this newsletter originally as a photo newsletter, but I wanted to let myself, ahem, range a little more than that.
