If you appreciate good photography and dry, sly humor, and you’re not subscribed to Noah Kalina’s superlative newsletter, do yourself a favor. I subscribed awhile ago, probably about a year after it started, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every weekly email. It’s also how I came to hear about Tiny Flock (and Bedmounds before it).

Noah Kalina – ‘Bedmounds’
2014 was the tail end of the Obama years, which was a time in our country where there was relative domestic peace and prosperity.I could bunch up a mound of sheets and it was fun and meaningless.

George Georgiou – ‘Americans Parade’
Justine Kurland’s Girl Pictures was the Charcoal photobook-of-the-month for June 2020. I preordered Girl Pictures well before its release, and so swapped it out for George Georgiou’s Americans Parade.
