This week I hand the soapbox over to photographer and writer James Harbeck. Through his blog Sesquiotic, James appreciates and dissects the fine details of words; here he explores our visual world at a fine level of detail.
Read More23 : International Women's Day
I’d like to share some words and photos from ten totally kick-ass women I’ve had the opportunity to photograph over the past year. I’d like to open the discussion to some of their ideas, and celebrate some of their accomplishments over the last 365 somersaults.
Read More22 : Gus and Adam
The cities of Sydney, London, and Vancouver are evenly distributed across the world’s timezones. In 2012, Gus and Adam, originally from Sydney, were living near London.

Read More15 : Matt & Annie
