Hey, we are new here so it’s introduction time…

PappasBland is the collective work of Diana Pappas and Tom Bland. We are photographers and partners in work and life. Photography and the internet brought us together when we lived an ocean apart. Remember Flickr? Yeah, that’s where we met. After writing to each other for a year (Hoboken <-> London), we met IRL and our lives and work as visual artists were forever intertwined.

Today we work together as #photography partners under the umbrella of PappasBland, producing art prints of our photographs, helping our clients tell their story with photography, and pursuing our personal projects – all while writing an ambitious newsletter via Substack.

We are based in the beautiful Berkshires in western Massachusetts.

Looking forward to using #nostr and getting to know the community here.

I don’t recognize your account Mikel but love what I see of your work. Are you still uploading there? I was thinking of resurrecting our Flickr presence. Thanks for the welcome!

Not lately, maybe one day i restart taking photographs, i still love it. And the amazing people i met at Flickr. I also liked the lack of algorhythm of Flickr. Do you have account there?

Some days i curate this group: https://www.flickr.com/groups/newcontemporaryphotography/

We do but it’s not suitable for public consumption right now! Our website is the best place to start: https://pappasbland.com
