M.J. Birch—Independent still photography documentarian based in Austin, Texas.
Working across analog film and digital photography, I document found situations and altered topographies—focusing on the spaces where our materialized aspirations linger as they begin to fade.
Exploring place, memory, and cultural identity, my ongoing series—Distinctly American and Psychogeographic photography—are available online as well as in limited-edition Photo Zines and portfolio box print sets.
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.
I'll mail you a Photo Postcard
Each calendar month, I send a handwritten postcard featuring one of my photographs to 10 real people—or to someone they nominate.
I do this to hopefully brighten your day a little, and occasionally, I get a very cool postcard in return.
→⃝ Postcard Request
The first 10 verifiable U.S. street address identities per month. Requests do not carry over to the next month. One postcard per person per year. This is a free offer. If you'd like to send me a postcard in return, that would be great, but it's not required.
