I received the 2026 calendar in the mail this week. Just opening up the mailbox and seeing it there, waiting to be picked it up, made me smile. Then, with a fresh cup of coffee, sat down to go through it thoroughly in the silence of my afternoon respite. What wonderful work you do! The complementary blend of poetry and photos brings a new story, a new memory, and new inspiration to each month. I think it’s the best one yet. It even had my favorite photo of the year (That lovable looking leaf in October). And I don’t know why, but as I closed the back cover, the refrain from old John Denver song started playing in my mind… “Poems, Prayers, and Promises”: “Talk of poems, and prayers, and promises - things that we believe in- How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care? - How long it's been since yesterday?- What about tomorrow?- What about our dreams, and all the memories we share?.” Like that song, your craft and work gives the feeling of community. So, thanks for sharing yourself with us Tyler.
Seeing the winter months through your Fuji snaps help my brain to appreciate this season of cold and dark; I have seasonal affectiveness disorder so I'm very VERY grateful for the glimmers of light you bring to winter.
My faves this month; seeing Sarah through the glass of the door, which also holds your reflection; the macro pinecone shot; the ones with Christmas lights; the one of Sarah with concentration on her face as she works some dough magic.
The camera has done WONDERS for me on re-seeing the world in new light. It's so easy to get lost in seasons we don't "love" but having a camera on you forces you to find the beauty no matter what comes. I love that.
I think this is the best group of Fuji snaps yet- you continue to outdo yourself. My favorite is the stairs/leaves/feet and all of the sunset ones. Random question- is the Fuji a digital or old school film?
Ahh thank you! It's my Fuji x100v, digital but I have old old film recipes I've created in camera so they shoot JUST like the old Portra or Kodachrome etc without having to pay so much to have it developed!
Love seeing your monthly recaps! ✨ I don’t remember if you’ve mentioned already but where do you get your film developed? I’ve always been interested in film photography but it doesn’t quite translate to learning how to develop it once I’ve taken them
Ahh, this is my Fuji x100v, it's digital! It's all old-school film simulations that I've re-created in JPG form so I don't have to deal with the super high cost OR environmental woes of shipping off roll after roll! However, it IS still fun to dabble in film, and State Film Lab does an AMAZING job online.
I just love these little glimpses through the lens of your camera Tyler! It makes me warm inside scrolling through and reading your narration. Thank-you for sharing this small piece of your life!

Kevin, thank YOU for allowing me to! This community is the best thing I've EVER helped shape. Truly.
