Some inbox maintenance for the New Year
Happy New Year, friends! How’s everybody doing?
Just a quick bit of email maintenance as we head into 2026: Could you please hit reply and let me know that you’ve received this message?

I’m producing some new photography features this winter, and I’d hate for you to miss out just because of some technical issues with AI.
When you have a moment, hit reply with a quick “Got it!” or drop me a comment below, so I know you received this message — Thanks in advance!
One more thing…
I’m doing something entirely different this year: curating an exhibition featuring paintings, drawings, and texts by a Madison artist and friend, Randall Berndt. The show dovetails with an art book launch in a few weeks.
We’ll celebrate the launch of STORIES: Words & Images, a new book of visual narratives, with a discussion between artists Randall Berndt and Martha Glowacki at the Arts + Literature Laboratory on Saturday, January 17, 2026. I hope you’ll join us!
Yes, the message and photos came through, thank you!
Got it! I have winter work, some from years of newspaper photography, some from just wandering around. How would you like to view it?
