Hand-developed silver gelatin prints, stereoviews for antique viewers, or alternative-process studies. No digital ink or mass reproduction—just deliberate, small-batch analog work delivered the old-fashioned way.

Each month's batch closes on the 20th. Signups before the cutoff get the upcoming release; signups after roll into the next month.

Prints are exposed, developed, washed, and packed by hand in San Francisco during the final week of the month.

Envelopes ship via USPS on the 1st of every month.
