2026 Calendar Launch - The Wait is Over!
The Matchbook | 11.14.25
Ooooh baby do I have a surprise for you folks this year, and instead of making you wait, I’m just gonna spill the cat out of the bean bag now and tell you!
Because the response to my monthly Fuji Journals, my photography wrap-ups in which I share intimate glimpses of my private life (see below), has been so overwhelmingly beautiful and kind and lovely and heartwarming and magical, I decided this time around, those intimate little glimpses and moments I’ve capture deserve a bit more limelight.
The 2026 Chasers of the Light Calendar is ALL Fuji photographs, all taken over the last year, all with moments from the month they belong in on the calendar page! Joining those photographs are, as always, my words, my poetry.
Strangely, as I was crafting and creating these new calendars, I couldn’t help but notice that against all odds, against the tide of things in our world right now, somehow, some gorgeous how, the words just felt so hopeful, so saturated with love.
I Love making these calendars, and even though sales on them has very much dwindled, and prices to create them (we use a fully green printer too) and shipping costs have definitely gotten more expensive, I love how much YOU all love them too. I’ve heard from so many of you asking, and asking again, when they’ll be available for order, and it means the world to me that you still care.
SO, let’s do this. Pre-orders are up now in the shop, and we will do our absolute best to get them shipped to you in time for the Christmas holiday, but we gotta act fast. Once I get a feel for how many I need to order based on your orders, I’ll get them here and out to you quick as humanly possible. This time around too, it’s gonna take a lot more work to ship but in doing so, I should be able to provide tracking numbers to you so you won’t have to worry about them going missing.
International orderers, I cannot sell them to you through the shop as shit with tariffs and nonsense have made it too weird to do it that way, so if you DO want to order, please email me at rad@chasersofthelight.com and I can give you a shipping quote. It might be a lot because, well, yeah, you know why, but we can see if you still wanna go through with it!
I cannot wait for you to hold these, to hang them in YOUR home and it fills me with a weird bit of pride and warm joy thinking of you walking by them in your day-to-day. That MY day-to-day will become part of Yours. Wow.
Thank you, and here’s to 2026 and the hope I just cannot let go of!
Now hurry up and order!






Order is in the way… but a little fun first!
Light views on photos:
A pretty photo,
Stirs the soul and helps us smile!
Life giving us hope.
A tragic photo
Stirs the soul and makes us think!
Hope of more from life.
A photo can’t lie
Just pixels or paper dots.
But we see much more!
As we raise our head
We see light coming to us
What do we offer?
Questions of vision:
Did your eyes really see it?
Or what your mind viewed?
When we look out there…
What is it we mostly view?
It’s what the mind sees.
Image of what is:
Is my filter set on doubt?
Or wishful thinking?
Image of what was:
An old photo in my hands.
I won’t let it go!
Go ahead, Do it!
Capture that moment in time!
Take the damn photo!
Can’t wait to mine! These make the best Christmas gifts to myself and, of course, one for Jim’s house.
