Hey y’all, I’m looking for images for a new mail-based zine project! Memorandum: Latin, “something to be brought to mind” Inspired by the classic workplace memo (an internal document meant to circulate information within a group) this project reimagines that format through photographs. Think of it as a visual newsletter, a collective conversation where each contributor adds one image to the mix. How it works: - Anyone can submit one photo - Every submission will be included in the memo - Each contributor will receive a physical copy by mail Just like a traditional office memo, it will be printed using a color laser printer in all its tacky lo-fi charm. A pay-what-you-can submission fee is requested to help cover printing and mailing costs ($2-$4 suggested). PayPal or Venmo: @JesseEgner U.S.-based contributors only (international artists are welcome, but will be asked to cover additional postage). Additional copies will be available for purchase. Deadline: Rolling Submit here: https://forms.gle/puBhCEqyGdnyJu7m9 (link in bio) Questions: DM or [email protected]

With less than two days left of our End-of-Year Giving Campaign, we’re spotlighting the artists whose experiences illuminate the impact of SF Camerawork’s support. Their stories show how your generosity helps connect artists across regions, foster community, and open new professional pathways. We’re grateful to have worked with Jesse Egner through our FORECAST 2024 exhibition, which helped expand his connections within the San Francisco arts community. As a NYC-based artist, having his work shown in person on the West Coast—supported by our exhibition honorarium—created meaningful opportunities for new audiences and colleagues to engage with his practice. We’re honored to have played a role in strengthening those connections and welcoming Jesse into the SFC community. To support our EOY campaign, please visit sfcamerawork.org through the link in our bio. To explore more of Jesse’s work, visit jesseegner.com and follow them at @jesseegner .

Excited to honor and celebrate #Pride, a vibrant reminder of love, identity, acceptance & self expression. Art has always been a powerful voice for the #lgbtq + #community, and this month, we r using creativity to uplift, reflect, and stand proud. 🌈✨ Featuring: @jesseegner identifies as a queer artist and educator. Often taking the form of playful and absurd photographic portraiture of himself and other individuals, his work explores themes such as queerness, body image, relationships, collaboration, and humor. Sometimes, juxtaposing people with faux animals who symbolize grace, warmth, and wildness. The animals become storytellers of identity, strength, and pride 🐾🌈 Inquire: [email protected] #LBGTQart #homoeroticart #celebratepride #pridemonth #loveislove #photography #animalsymbolism #collage #loversinthenight #assemblageart #bejeweled #redheads

A Study on Deficiency and Dependency (Ozempic Pens with Ghost Pipe Flowers). Johnson, Vermont, 2024. The ghost pipe flower lacks chlorophyll and cannot produce its own nutrients. It survives by drawing nourishment from fungi, which themselves are connected to the roots of surrounding trees. (Transparency: I am not on Ozempic. I got these empty Ozempic pens from someone who takes it for diabetes) #ozempic #ghostpipe #ghostpipeflower #fatshotdrug
