EnglishWhat You'll Find in the Journal and Instagram Sections of menuez.com
Updated
The Journal and Instagram sections of menuez.com are where Doug Menuez shares ongoing activity and behind-the-scenes perspective rather than finished portfolio pieces. The Journal is a site section listed in the main navigation, and Instagram is an external link to his social feed. Both sit alongside the portfolio areas (Collections, Projects, Motion, Books, Case Studies) and are best treated as the "current and personal" layer of the site, while the portfolio sections hold the curated work.
The Journal section
The Journal appears as a top-level item in the site's navigation menu, alongside Collections, Projects, Motion, Books, Case Studies, Info, and Shop. That placement tells you it's a maintained section of the site, not a one-off page.
Based on how photographer and filmmaker sites typically use a "Journal," you can expect it to hold:
- Written posts, notes, or short articles
- Behind-the-scenes records of shoots, films, or projects
- Updates on talks, workshops, and press
- Occasional reflections on the craft or on specific bodies of work
The site's own framing supports this: the homepage pairs a quote attributed to Brother David Steindl-Rast ("Suffering is part of life. But fear... FEAR, is optional!") with a link to watch an interview. That mix of quotation, interview, and reflection is the register the Journal is likely to carry — a more personal, voice-driven counterpart to the polished portfolio.
How to use it: Open Journal from the main navigation when you want context around the work — the thinking, process, or events behind the images and films — rather than the finished output itself.
The Instagram section
Instagram is presented as a link out to his social feed, not as content hosted on menuez.com. That distinction matters:
| Journal | ||
|---|---|---|
| Where it lives | On menuez.com | External platform |
| Content type | Longer-form posts, notes, updates | Frequent, short-form visual updates |
| Best for | Context, process, announcements | Latest activity, day-to-day posts |
| Access | Direct on the site | Requires following the link off-site |
The homepage also surfaces a row of short video clips with running times — Vibravado (3:08), Fractions of the Heart (3:12), Chladni Kali (3:58), Thiruvananthapuram (4:47), Syncopation (3:04) — which sit in the same "recent motion work" zone as the social and journal content. If you're tracking what he's currently making, these clips plus the Instagram feed give you the most immediate view.
Which one to check, and when
- Want the newest activity? Go to Instagram — it updates most frequently and shows current work and posts.
- Want context and longer reading? Go to the Journal — it's built for posts and updates that need more than a caption.
- Want the curated body of work? Neither — use Collections, Projects, Motion, Books, and Case Studies instead.
- Want to reach him or find events? Use the Info section, which is the navigation entry most likely to hold contact details, talks, and workshops.
Practical notes
- The Journal is a section within menuez.com, so you stay on the site; Instagram takes you to an external platform.
- The homepage's interview link and video clip list show that motion and interview content is woven through the site, not confined to one section — the Journal and Instagram are the ongoing channels around that work.
- The site's navigation also includes a Shop entry, so if your interest is buying prints or books rather than following updates, that's a separate section from Journal and Instagram.
