- For
- New York early-morning riders and print recipients
- Worth noticing
- Each envelope pairs a black-and-white 4 × 6 print with a signed account of what happened outside the frame, plus a bike sticker.
Field notes
The page frames the envelope as a three-part object: a black-and-white photograph on heavy uncoated card, a hand-signed letter, and a kiss-cut sticker for a bike or laptop. The letter is meant to preserve context normally outside the image—where and when the ride happened, who was present, and what was going on—while the signup form gathers a mailing address; the first round is limited to US addresses and asks for no payment now.
