2025 Uncommon Journeys: Photographs by Julia Cumes
A unique calendar of photographs engaging with the world as seen by photographer Julia Cumes.
Congratulations to Julia for being named “Artist of the Year” for 2024 by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod.
This 2025 calendar includes a selection of some of the photographer's favorite photos and the stories behind them. Some of these stories are quite complex and sensitive, so we urge you to visit Julia’s website for more complete accounts and additional images.
In gratitude for the work of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod in support of the arts and artists on Cape Cod, Robert Manz Studio and Julia Cumes are donating a portion of the proceeds from sales of 2025 Uncommon Journeys to the Arts Foundation.
About paper
This calendar measures 12 inches by 18 inches and has 14 individual sheets. It has a center hole punch at the top for convenient hanging.
It is certainly worthy of framing. If you want to frame your calendar we suggest that you let us know and we will OMIT THE HOLE PUNCH. It looks better that way.
It is printed on card stock coated for high quality inkjet printing, sometimes known as “giclee”. This is card stock that has been coated with a matte finish to optimize print quality from a wide format inkjet printer. The paper we use is 230 gsm, roughly equivalent to 80 pound cover.
