I subscribe to a couple newsletters whose only purpose is to send me a cool photo every day:
YourDailyPhotograph.com

Sometimes I've heard of the photographer before and I get to see a great shot from someone I like, and sometimes it's completely new to me and can set me off on a bit of a rabbit hole :)

Another newsletter rec today⊠ArtStuff popped on my radar last week and Iâve found it to be great content as I kick around through the archive. Itâs a pretty basic format of interviews with semi low key artists, but the interviews are great and have led to me discovering a bunch of cool things / people. Check out the soho house curator one and the Leonard Baby one for a taste.

Top Recs from @greebo
Koudelka was a photographer who documented Europe from the 60s onwards, recording the lives of travelling people, Soviet invasions, struggles with poverty, and more. He later became a member of the Magnum society and continued his work into old age. If you have the time, it's really worth digging into his work as he had a real eye for striking images that provide a lot of context for the situation he was in. He used to travel with very little besides a sleeping bag and camera so he often experienced the harsher side of life while on the job. At times his photos were smuggled out of the soviet borders, and published anonymously, to keep him safe. Check the link for a good starting point on Magnum's website!

I'm not obsessed with it but it's always sweet when the barista does something cool. This one yesterday made me smile because after seeing a few others I realised the guy was doing Pokémon! Fairly certain mine is mew or Mewtwo, I saw him do a horsea, pikachu, and squirtle too...
