Some of my limited edition prints dubbed “The Camera You Have” photographed in my studio. Chicago, Illinois. July, 2024. © Clayton Hauck

Quick update, as I’m late to post today (busy, working, stuff, things) and dangerously close to missing my first day all year!

Potisitve: Ive been learning to print! It’s been fun, and expensive, and time consuming, and easy, and hard, and fun, and I like it. Most of what I’ve printed thus far is personal work which I haven’t shared anywhere yet. I also printed a new commercial photo portfolio, which looked great and ate up a ton of ink ($$). Hopefully it leads to a job or two to help pay for the time and expenses.

Negative: Money. Time. Just another thing to sink my limited time into for zero monetary upside (in reality, just a loss).

Positive: I’m getting excited about photography from a different perspective. I want to make zines and books and prints and do shows and print other people’s work and have fun!

Long story short: as with everything, this new venture is a work-in-progress but one that I’m excited about. This post has been a reminder than I am behind schedule on releasing a new print into my The Camera You Have series. I am to do this next week and I will again give one away here on the ole blog. Stay tuned!
