I can’t stop thinking about atypical people, but I want to expand my take on this small group. My prior post said that atypical people were the only people I wanted to spend time with, but that’s not accurate. First, …
Creative: Beginning and the End
It tickles me that the YouTube crowd has now discovered journaling. Sure, they turned it into a style guide more than true journaling, but as I always say, “baby steps.” I feel at least partly responsible for their discovery, and …
Creative: Upcoming Live Events
No rest for the wicked, as they say. I have two back-to-back live events coming up, both for Blurb. The first covers something new that will blow your mind when you learn how it works. Something we’ve been discussing for …
Creative: Our Lucky Day
This is our lucky day, thanks to Cristian Gallego, who created a set of tools I’m assuming some of you will want to know about. Just check out these links! As you all know, I’m a total luddite when it …
Creative: A Place to Return To
I’ve had some time to think, and that’s never good. Time is perhaps the most ambitious of adversaries. Time provides perspective, sometimes a repeat of a well-worn past, while at other times, a new perspective can reshape entire futures. This …
Creative: On Assignment with Raw Society
Okay, jackals. You asked for it, and now you have it. A Europe-based workshop, right there outside your Menorcan backdoor. “Dan Milnor: On Assignment” is live. In partnership with Raw Society. Many of you know my work on Sicilian Easter …
Creative: Streets to Print: Magazines and Journals
Hello, my friends. Coming to you from the other side of the world. Just left Albania, which has sadly turned a bit violent. Endemic corruption will do this to people, so let’s hope the leadership goes on their merry way …
Creative: Destination Print, Post Five
In 2007, I was offered my first two publishing deals. I was green, had no idea how publishing worked, but I knew right away something was wrong. The European publisher told me my audience was in America, and the American …
Creative: Albania Day One
What should have taken fifteen hours took closer to thirty-six. A delayed flight, then a missed connection, then a twelve-hour layover, then a reprieve, then an unscheduled trip to Athens, and finally back north to Tirana. Oh, Tirana. Tirana in …
Creative: Albania Redux
We first ventured to Albania in 2019. A call from Elena, whose family comes from this mysterious land. “If you want to see Albania, now is the time.” We jumped. Landing in Tirana felt like landing in a lost world. …
Adventure: The Mixed Bag
Adventure beckons. Right there, just outside the door. The long drive in the dark. The chill of fall reminding us that the season is about to change. Eyes reflect in the darkness. Establishing the hierarchy of survival, predators and prey …
Creative: Streets to Print: B&H Photo Redux
Hello jackals. New York, round trip, on tap. Heading back to B&H to talk about taking your street imagery, or any other random body of work, and turning it into magazines and journals. A brief description below. If you are …
