My Take
Noah Kalina fascinates me more as a philosopher than a photographer. His Everyday project, photographing his own face daily to chronicle aging, is one of those deceptively simple ideas that quietly confronts mortality. Anyone can take a selfie; almost no one has the discipline to do it relentlessly for years and turn it into a meditation on time. That tells me his real gift is patience, not just a good eye. His editorial work for The New York Times Magazine and Esquire confirms the technical chops, but what I admire is the conceptual nerve. He turns the ordinary passage of time into something genuinely moving.
