A number of Kalina's projects have been noted as examinations of the passage of time. By returning to a subject at a later point and creating additional photographs of it, a sequence of his images draws attention both to the aspects of the subject that have changed and the aspects that have remained the same. Projects that use this format include
Everyday (himself, since 2000),
Domino Sugar (the
Domino Sugar Factory, since 2010),
River and N1 (the intersection of River Street and North 1st Street in
Brooklyn, since 2013),
Lumberland (a
black walnut tree, since 2015), and
The River (the
Delaware River, since 2015). In 2020,
The New York Times commissioned a new extended series of photos-over-time from Kalina of the view from his bedroom window from October 2020 to June 2021.
Everyday Kalina began taking a photo of himself every day starting on January 10, 2000, at age 19. The video
Everyday shows the photos chronologically, six per second, with an original piano score by his former girlfriend
Carly Comando. Kalina uploaded the video in August 2006 where it received widespread attention and has since become the subject of homages and parodies. The long-term project is ongoing. Since 2009, Kalina has been using the
Nikon Coolpix S10 to make his daily portrait. ==Other notable photographs==
