M.J. Birch-Independent still photography documentarian based in Austin, Texas.
Working with analog film and digital formats, I document found situations and topographies—ready-made human habitats mostly caught between genesis and abandonment—the spaces where materialized aspirations linger as they begin to fade.
My ongoing series-Distinctly American and Psychogeographic photography-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.
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.
ⓘ Send me a 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. If you'd like to send me a postcard in return, that would be great, but it's not required.
