Hey, All. For those of you new to what I do with FlakPhoto and photography, here’s a little backstory — @miaq published a short Q&A with me in her newsletter last year. flakphoto.news/cp/144868794
I'm always so curious about the ingredients of a great playlist. Music curator extraordinaire Kasey Gelsomino, creator of "Oat Milk Lattes in the Mountains" on @Spotify and Kasey's Playlist on @tiktok_us, shared her secrets with me.

The summer and my @Flipboard curatorial residency are coming to a close — I've enjoyed sharing my perspective there. Thanks again, @miaq, for the invitation. Here are a few things that caught my eye this month. Enjoy! flakphoto.news/p/flakphoto-r…
I am excited to be this week’s curator of “The Shot” by @Flipboard
Mindful Art: The intersection between Astro, Photography, and Mental Health
A mix of art, resources, and inspiration including:
@giuligartner
@NightLights_AM
@alynwallace@albertdrosphoto@AJamesMcCarthy
Museum guards spend hours with the artifacts they watch over, so of course they’re going to have opinions about #art and #curation. Meet two guards who curated @artbma’s '22 show. They’re not just protecting the art; they’re in a relationship with it.

Plus, see what Dereck and Jess are recommending in books, movies, TV and film, along with the pieces they curated for @artbma's "Guarding the Art," in the companion @Flipboard Storyboard:

Once I was at a music festival and I looked up and I was surrounded by the House x Techno bomber jacket — a jacket I had seen in my own Instagram feed. The algorithm knew me — knew all of us — and I was seeing its effects IRL.
But what does this phenomenon mean for our culture at large? How can it be that algorithms seem to be shrinking and expanding our horizons at the same time? How will generative AI impact culture? What makes a human curator irreplaceable?
You've got to "walk the blocks" and "yank the tablecloth" — when it comes to exploring and recommending, @AlisonBing knows nothing can replace lived-in experience, thorough research, and looking under the hood. She's contributed to 64 @lonelyplanet books! miaq.substack.com/p/14-aliso…
How does @substack's in-house curator discover great newsletters? What are her tips for growing on the platform? Which Substacks does she wish more people knew abt? If you have a newsletter (or just love words & stories), I think you'll like this ep.

Even @Flipboard vets like @jeffersongraham learned something from this post! @jejord and I really tried to put alllll the tips and tricks in here, including some under-the-hood stuff that hasn't been discussed much before. about.flipboard.com/inside-f…
