About

Pocket Camera is an experiment in truthiness.

  1. You are encouraged to blend fictional and real worlds;
  2. to continue the fiction; to engage the non-narrative;
  3. to use elements of previous posts in new posts.

The name comes from the point-and-shoot camera’s timeless appeal. Started in 2025, P.C. offers a place to publicly share details of everyday existence with an audience under an alias.

The idea grew out of ASSIGNMENT01, a pandemic-era virtual journaling collective, educational resource, and zine anthology.
