one of the things I miss the most
is a short-lived project called bwrss by Giles Turnbull
which was black and white photography,
delivered exclusively through the RSS feed
and not visible anywhere else on the Internet.

Yeah, both the feed and the final on-web gallery are also completely broken now. I have written him about this, and I haven’t gotten any reply yet.

maybe bring it back?

Actually, in June 2023, I have taken the matter into my own hands, and started my own project based on the same photoblog-in-a-feed delivery mechanism, but long-running with no definite finish line. That project: “Basked in Sodium Glow”, is still ongoing today…

Atom feed instead of RSS, hand-coded instead of application-generated, sodium streetlight photography rather than black-and-white genre, and posting whenever (ranging from twice a week to once a fortnight) instead of daily; but I think you might enjoy this one as well; especially if you’re using feed reader program rather than 3rd-party feed reader service.
