That's a wrap! From its early days as a portrait photography mag that I created in my final year of university to its first evolution as ‘of the land & us’, an online journal about nature & our relationship to the earth, to its final evolution as ‘Black River’, what you see today

https://t.co/rskaghnfEr will stay up until June, after which we will officially go offline.

It’s been an incredible and fun experience spanning eight whole years (I can’t quite believe that!) and with issue two, it’s come to the end – for now.

"Although I had been given a cause, I didn’t have a reason and I found myself experiencing feelings of grief for the time I had lost to trying to figure out what was 'wrong' with me."
