I just returned from a Glass Photowalk in San Francisco organized by IGersEastBay (Instagrammers East Bay) in conjunction with Trey Ratcliff of HDR fame and Thomas Hawk. Wow. What a turnout.

Be Biased
Her words have been reverberating in my head for a couple of weeks now. “Be Biased“ I heard her talk, “Translating Science into Poetry“, at the first Write the Docs conference earlier this month.
