Unboxing George Muncey’s ‘Missing’
Missing is a fun little zine from George Muncey, of Negative Feedback fame. It’s very simple, really: Muncey started photographing ‘Missing Cat’ flyers one day, then added cats and neighborhoods that matched the flyers, and *poof* a great little project was born. https://youtu.be/2u-vme8Lkq4
