your monthly dose of world
the all new MilesAstray is here
Long time no read! That's on me. I was working on making it worth the wait though! I've been away and astray to reinvent my entire project, including this newsletter. Read on to find out what this means for you!

evolution conclusion
​
My project has always been an evolution. What started out as an alternative travel blog went on to become a photoprosaic website that has now arrived in the realm of art activism. And although evolution is a never ending journey, this stage right here, seems like the perfect stage to showcase my work.
I’ve been circling the intersection of writing and photography for the longest time, but now my project is headed for a head-on collision of these two mediums.
I've replaced the old categories (reads, photos, countries) with a structure that is more representative of the 50/50 nature of my writing/photography crossover:
· words (one word, one photo)
· lines (one line, one photo)
· passages (one passage, one photo)
· essays (one essay with photos)
There’s something there for every attention span; and if one word/photo is beyond your attention span, look at it as an attention spank.
Everything is wrapped into a new neat look too, lean and clean.

less news, less letter,
more impact matter
​
This newsletter started out as a way to keep my first 'fans' (i.e. family and friends) posted on my whereabouts and shenanigans. And while I will keep you updated on important news, developments, and events, the new emphasis will be on content – content that is relevant to you, a presumed citizen of Earth.
In line with the above mentioned structure, I will start sending you one word, one line, one passage, and one essay each month to explore a given topic, from love to death.
