M.J. Birch-Independent still photography documentarian based in Austin, Texas.
Working across analog film and digital formats, I document American tableaus and ready-made human habitats caught between genesis and abandonment—the liminal spaces where materialized aspirations linger as they begin to fade.
My ongoing series-Distinctly American and Psychogeography-are published as limited-edition Photo Zines, portfolio box print sets, and online.
Photo-series editions comprising scenes or subjects characteristic of the United States of America, its civilization, or its culture broadly : things typical of the USA.
Geotagged photo-series editions exploring human-habitats considered with regard to their influence on the mind and behavior.
Postcard Swap:
I'll send you one of my photo postcards in exchange for one of your own photo or art postcards, or any picture postcard of your choice.
Each calendar month I send a postcard to the first 10 new human requesters who commit to send me one in return. Requests do not roll over to the next month. USA residential street addresses only, because I know for a fact AI agents only live in the bowls of tech compounds and datacenters.
How: Start by sending me a 'Postcard Swap' email request
