Roll 001 · what it is
Real people, real days,
real work.
Field Notes is a biweekly, long-form, day-in-the-life editorial series documenting working creatives — photographers, designers, founders, students, audio engineers, muralists, art teachers — across the Greensboro creative middle class and beyond. Numbered issues. A permanent archive. Published by Studio Hous, under SolHous.
We’re early. We’re choosy. We’re building the founding archive of a publication that intends to last.
— honest by design
Roll 002 · what an issue looks like
Five pieces, every time.
1,500–2,500 words
First-person, narrative, editorial. Written to last, not to trend.
8–15 frames
Editorial, shot personally. The subject keeps every photo.
One statement
The line that stays with you, set large.
One observation
A transferable truth about how the work actually gets done.
The footer
Every issue closes by pointing at the subject’s own work.
Roll 003 · the archive
The archive begins here.
Field Notes 001 is being made now. Numbered, permanent, unhurried. Nothing gets published because the calendar says so. It gets published when the work clears the bar.
The practice is the product. Build slowly. Build truly.
— the standing mantra
Roll 004 · how to be in it

Publishes within about 30 days. You keep all the photos.
Roll 005 · what subjects get

Every subject becomes a scout for the next.
— how the archive grows
Roll 006 · put yourself in the frame
Make the case for
a day.
We’re not collecting leads. We’re looking for one real day worth documenting. You don’t have to be established — a sophomore running an art club gets the same day as a photographer of twenty years. If the work is real and ongoing, tell us about it.

Roll 008 · where it goes
Field Notes is where relationships begin.
