jesse aaron cohen




jesse aaron cohen is a photo archivist at a library with a large collection of material from eastern europe. the last friday of each month he sends out an email of carefully curated thematic images. while the emails often draw from the collection he works with, they are sometimes unrelated and bizarre. things like dinosaur art or computer renderings of luxury apartments. check out past collections here and if you want to subscribe send jesse an email at jacohen [at] fastmail [dot] fm
