Tools for designing and making things are evolving at an astounding rate! As we watch different methodologies come and go, it becomes apparent that parts of one or bits of another will persist as landmarks on the bumpy road from pure thought into matter. We are interested in identifying and mapping these landmarks, forging new paths to try, and new techniques to explore. Come ride the wave of human potential with us into the post-digital era!

These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for. Why'd You Start the Group?

I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …
