Best Things #05

A few weeks ago, while Abby Glassenberg were having our podcast chat, I mentioned how, although I really love Instagram, I worry a little about how one can self-select an Insta feed to only display pics within an existing aesthetic, and in the end all that yummy visual ‘liking’ ends up as a same-same-same unchallenging, boring mush.

So in this week’s Best Things, I’ve first listed a bunch of Instagram accounts that do it for me – inspiring me to take better pics, showing me different ways of viewing the world, and inspire me about where I live:
