Yet another My Peepers. Chicago, Illinois. March, 2024. © Clayton Hauck

This image is myself, stuck inside all day as the world passes on by me today. This is not to say I’ve had a bad day, it’s actually been a great day! But here I am scrambling to get a post up before the day ends, as I’ve been frantically designing and printing a new commercial photography portfolio all day today before the deadline hits tomorrow. Fingers crossed, I’ll make it in time — currently have thirteen of twenty-one spreads printed. Then I’ll need to punch and bind and pray it all fits together so that my agent can take it into an ad agency for a few people to casually flip thru and more likely completely ignore (while, yes, I sound like a negative nancy about this, I’m actually quite happy to be making a new book and feel like I should have done this years ago / plan to keep it updated moving forward even though it’s rare we bring printed books out into the world these days).

This image did not make it into the portfolio. But a future zine, it very well may!
