I'm Still Here

The most exciting crime fiction in the world

A weekly list for photographers. Sharing opportunities for exhibitions, grants, awards, publications, residencies, jobs, fellowships, and more.

Challenging creative fiction that respects your intellect. Here you'll find unique stories of oddness and insight, multi-layered stories that require and provoke contemplation. Philosophical, beautiful, at times absurd.

Storytelling, poetry, photography, conversation, and some hard-earned scars. All the Smythe projects.

My collection of magical moments, rainbows, storm clouds, colors, and chaos.
