A collection of 5 new Public Collectors booklets (2 sheets / 8 pages) created through walking, filled with dozens of photos and short contextual writings, collected together inside a printed envelope. The most recent Public Collectors 'business' card is also included in each set. These will mainly only be available through mail order and at fairs so get them here while they last. From the envelope cover description:

This envelope contains five issues of Morning Walks - a 8-page/2-sheet Digital & RISO-printed publication: Contractor Flyers; Suggestive Blobs; Pole Protection; Frogs; Beware of Dogs

Morning Walks are taken by Marc Fischer of Public Collectors, based in Chicago, IL. In November 2024, I began solo walking to improve my physical and mental wellness and reduce car-dependence. I start out from home in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale), I often take photos with my phone, and organize what I’ve documented into folders that became these publications. More booklets with different themes will follow this collection. 

Public Collectors brings the periphery to the foreground. These booklets relate to others I have made in recent years with a similar commitment to sharing what I experience in my neighborhood and city.
