Hello again!
The audio clip at the top of this newsletter is a 6 minute taster I recorded with photographer Pete Davis on a ‘walk n talk’ around Found Gallery in Brecon on the first day of his City Stories: Cardiff 1969 - 1977 exhibition earlier this week.
This is a must-see exhibition on both floors at Found Gallery - well worth a visit!
The complete recording will posted on the Subscriber+ area of the offline.wales website early next week.
NEW Offline Journal Subscriptions
It’s been a busy few months but you have now seen the result in the new issue #008 of Offline Journal. If you bought a copy, thank you, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it as much as the featured talented contributors and I enjoyed pulling it together.
Speaking of which…
I’m pleased to announce Subscriptions are now available for the next two issues of Offline Journal and I hope you might consider supporting the publication through one of two Subscription offers below.
Subscriber support ensures each new issue goes off to the printers, so thank you in advance if you do Subscribe!

1. Subscriber
First, a normal Subscription secures a copy of both issues #009 (October 2022) and #010 (April 2023) inclusive of post & packing and a short monthly email Newsletter. There’s a slight twist this year as I’m responding to a few requests for starting a 2-issue subscription for issues #008 and #009, however this will only last as long as copies of issue #008 remain in stock.
1 x issue #008 (April 2022) and 1 x issue #009 (October 2022)
or
1 x issue #009 (October 2022) and 1 x issue #010 (April 2023)
Subscriber : £27.00
2. Subscriber Plus
Next, the popular Subscriber+ option, which again secures a copy of the next two issues but also includes the limited edition printed supplements and more in-depth monthly email Newsletter, returns in a slightly modified form.
Secure a copy of issues #009 and #010

• 1 x Offline Essay featuring new writing on photography (8-page A4)

FOLIO poster will be included with Offline Journal October issue.

Post and packing included.
Subscriber+ : £45.00
Offline FOLIO
Offline FOLIO exhibition posters – a collaboration with selected photographers and small galleries – have proven popular since they started but, despite being deceptively simple, are relatively expensive to produce. However I think they’re worth doing as a small acknowledgement of indie exhibitions, so they will continue but now come as a supplement to the October issue of the Journal for Subscriber+ supporters (look out for the next one when issue #009 is published and launched at The EYE Festival this October in Aberystwyth).
Offline Essays
Offline Essays will also continue as a Subscriber+ supplement. I think they’re a good format for photographers/writers to articulate their thinking on contemporary photography or, as demonstrated in the most recent essay by Garry Stuart, linking past and present work for new audiences. Going forward, Offline Essays will be a supplement to the April issue of the Journal and now have eight pages to include a few more photographs alongside text.
Offline Newsletter & Website
The Subscriber+ Newsletter provides those supporters with updates on photography around Wales between the April & October printed issues of Offline Journal and starting June there will be an expanded version each month plus more new materials posted monthly on the Subscriber+ area of the offline.wales website.
Access to Subscriber versions of the email Newsletter and content on the supporter area of the website remain active for the duration of any paid Offline Journal Subscription.
