Talking about what interests me

Taking it a step further: Interview interesting people

Taking pictures of interesting Design: Swich

Things happen - you meet them, interview next

Some things aren’t stories though

Manhattanhenge

Over and under kill

Story vs corporate speak

Coming from the heart

Another issue

Expect the unexpected

Expect the unexpected: most hit page???

Expect the unexpected: some companies are watching

Expect the unexpected: more about shoes

Expect the unexpected: backing it up

Expect the unexpected: thumb tacks

Looking for a pattern...
