I am hosting a small giveaway as a way to bid New York farewell and to thank you for making the blogsphere such a warm, welcoming place to share and grow. I am especially grateful for all your kind words of encouragement during this time of transition. I will already be living in Korea by the time I send out the giveaway package, which would be a wonderful excuse to explore my new neighborhood’s post office.
And of course, I am so excited to officially share my new limited edition photo zine “The Way Home” with you. It’s beautifully printed on 100lb silk-coated paper, and full of expired vintage film and digital photographs from New York.
The giveaway features: my original “The Way Home” photo zine, four vintage airmail envelopes, two New York City skyline postcards, one “Wish Tree for Zuccotti Park” postcard by Yoko Ono, two Japanese stationary sets, and of course, a little surprise (maybe something from Seoul!).
Everything goes to one randomly chosen winner.
You only have to do two things:
1) Be a Maps and Fragments follower. It can be on any RSS reader, Twitter, Bloglovin’, Facebook, etc.
2) Leave a comment with a way for me to contact you.
The giveaway will be open until June 21st, and the winners will be announced shortly after.
The giveaway is now closed. The randomly chosen winner is Koey!
“In life, a person will come and go from many homes. We may leave a house, a town, a room, but that does not mean those places leave us. Once entered, we never entirely depart the homes we make for ourselves in the world. They follow us, like shadows, until we come upon them again, waiting for us in the mist.”
