[Koval’s] account, @AccidentallyWesAnderson, has found favor with an ‘engaged group of explorers with a keen eye,’ who send him thousands of submissions every week.The Guardian

Like the Instagram account that spawned it, Wally Koval’s book brings together stunning — and often hilarious — photos of locations around the world that capture the director’s offbeat aesthetic.Washington Post Holiday Gift Guide
