HeyJaredThe Way I See It
I post personal essays on a variety of topics a few times per month. I usually pair my writing with my photography for a more impactful experience.

Today’s piece is a bit different from my usual writing, but it’s one I feel strongly about as a “public service announcement,” if you will, for the millions of U.S. citizens who live outside the United States. Thanks for sticking with me as I do my civic duty!<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yfep!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb0680

Hi everyone. I’ve been really quiet on here, I know. Paid subscriptions are still on hold, for the foreseeable future. I’ve been working hard on a new photography website that will also offer prints of my work for sale; hopefully it’ll launch in the next month. Stay tuned. Today I want to share something a bit different from my usual writing. Thanks for being here. -Michael<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p0lK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progr

Just a reminder that I’ve had the Paid Subscription option on “Pause” since May 15. I’ll likely keep it on hold for another month-ish before reactivating it. For those of you who are paid supporters—thank you!—Substack will automatically extend your expiration date by the total length of time I end up being paused.Though I’ve been laying low, there have been some exciting things happening over the past few months, which I’ll detail below before giving a glimpse of where I think I’m heading next.
