Dear Screen-L Subscriber, I've embarked on a Screen-L-related project to which I would like to invite you to subscribe-a photography email newsletter. So, please forgive this intrusion into your inbox. When I created Screen-L 34 years ago, email was still a bright and shiny new technology. LISTSERVs like Screen-L facilitated discussion, networking, and collaboration that hadn't been possible before. That technology has dulled over time and the utility of Screen-L diminished to the point that it felt like it had run its course, which is why I discontinued it in 2024. But I feel now that the toxicity and hyper-commercialized world of social media have made email a fresh, attractive option once again. And although my teaching and research interests have been in film and TV studies, I now find myself slightly obsessed with creating still photography. And I've decided to use a newsletter, running on the Substack platform, to get my photographs out into the world. If you're intrigued by the renewed potential of email and email newsletters, please read on. Thanks, Jeremy Jeremy Butler [log in to unmask] Professor Emeritus of Film and TV Studies ----------------------- I've launched a new way to get my photographs out into the world: an email newsletter! <<SUBSCRIBE HERE>><https://jercomphoto.com/NewsletterSubscription.php> Or if you feel (rightly) nervous about clicking links in emails, you may forward this email to me, [log in to unmask] , and I'll add you manually. The JerCom Photo Newsletter channels the spirits and visual styles of Buster Keaton... [cid:image001.jpg@01DBB9DF.9AB91CF0] Wes Anderson and... [cid:image002.jpg@01DBB9DF.9AB91CF0] Walker Evans. [cid:image003.jpg@01DBB9DF.9AB91CF0] The Newsletter contains droll visual puns, eerie nighttime imagery, offbeat street photography, and visual chronicles of the moral decay of Modern Life. Via two or three emails per week, I'll offer striking photographs with limited text. And if your inbox starts to feel overwhelming, you can unsubscribe with a single click. The newsletter is both free of charge and free of ads. I hope you'll consider subscribing. [cid:image004.jpg@01DBB9DF.9AB91CF0] [cid:image005.jpg@01DBB9DF.9AB91CF0] The newsletter also draws from my extensive archive of black-and-white photos from 1970s Phoenix and Providence.
