2018: A year in pictures
In 2018 I undertook a challenge to create a Black and White image for every day. This is the result.

Good news from the Free Music Archive:
“After months of uncertainty about our future, the Free Music Archive is joining KitSplit, a camera gear rental platform by and for creators. With KitSplit’s support, we will stay up and running for the indefinite future – something we are very relieved to report. Though KitSplit is a for-profit business, the FMA will remain true to its mission of sharing free, curated audio to all.
In the coming weeks, we will reopen artist/curator uploads and our Music Submission form and resume our regularly scheduled audio weirdness, curated playlist posts, and new releases here on our blog.
The Free Music Archive will be one of many educational resources in the KitSplit library – they have a bounty of informative materials on their blog, Viewfinder, and they offer free coaching sessions to women in film and video, which we think is sorely needed and super cool. The Free Music Archive is widely used and loved by indie video producers, and KitSplit wants to make our archive even more accessible and useful by bringing our audio collection to their community’s attention.
While this milestone is bittersweet and we’re sad to be saying goodbye to WFMU, we are forever in their debt for making the Free Music Archive a reality. We are excited to be able to preserve the archive and continue our essential work of curating the Commons with the support of KitSplit.
Thanks to everyone who supported us during this uncertain time, who reached out with moral support or made donations to keep the lights on, and especially to our amazing, inspiring, awesome community!! We are looking forward to the future for the Free Music Archive as its collections and communities grow, and we hope the best years of the Free Music Archive are yet to come.
For more details on the transition as it unfolds, please check the KitSplit blog and/or subscribe to their newsletter.

Friends, something wonderful is happening here at FMA, but we can’t give you all the details just yet.
For the time being, we are still suspending new uploads and backing up our MP3 collection at archive.org/details/freemusicarchive, but we’re thrilled that service will NOT be suspended on December 1 as previously indicated.
Thanks for sticking with us during this time of transition, and we can’t wait to tell you all about what’s in store for our beloved Archive!
Expect to hear our big news by the end of December.
