Photocurator (*.org) originated in Y2K as a network for photography curators. It was an online portal for communication and produced an annual printed index listing member’s exhibitions and cross-referencing their fields of research. It was terminated in 2006. This iteration (*.me) was launched in 2022. It is a reckoning of its author with his career as a maker and wrangler of images.
