As as investment, I own a small commercial building not far from our studio in Seattle's historic Greenlake neighborhood. It's a quaint brick building from the 1920's with tons of character and charm and I've intentionally filled it with tenants with creative businesses: architects, 3-D designers, filmmakers, etc. You get the picture.It got vandalized today. Tagged. Basically spray paint for the sake of spray paint on bricks and metalwork. I admit, when my friend Marc...

I'm suggesting that you take 17 minutes to watch this historic speech. If you're observing the holiday at home or at the office, turn up the speakers and gather a few family members, friends, or collegues together.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbUtL_0vAJk

So while I was on assignment last week, my Seattle office got a call from some passionate Republican. He left a message about a "business award" I'd won.

The caller backed up his message by sending our office a fax...

Today Miki Johnson, an outstanding editor at American Photo Magazine, posted to the editors blog called State of the Art, a story containing excerpts from an interview I gave two weeks ago about blogging. The story is entitled Shoot It, Blog It, Share It. The story also appears on another well-known print title's website at Popular Photography. FWIW, aside from my comments, there's some wonderful, interesting commentary from Alec Soth...

Well. Knowing how important music is to me, I'm mortified that it's taken me this long to give a shout out to one of the best radio stations of all times: KEXP 90.3 Seattle, where the music matters.In case you don't know (which basically means you live outside Seattle - most of this blog's readership...), KEXP is a listener-supported radio station that broadcasts from 90.3 in Seattle and streams on the web at KEXP.org. (Great...
