Desire Path #1
Hello friends, welcome to the first issue of Desire Path — a newsletter for photographers and photography aficionados interested in NFTs and web3. Here we will share our favorite photography projects, resources and articles.
Two Crossed Paths
Polar veins and tree branches as seen by Desire Path members Joel Hypponen and Alina Trifan. In COLD CALLING, Joel takes a macroscopical look at life in solitude in Svalbard, Norway during the polar night season. Alina, based in the UK, seeks comfort by searching for Winter Flowers.
