    I’ve been looking at cross functional collaboration and training after reading posts on UX forums. It’s interesting stuff and also the views that go with this subject.

    I’m going to be making the most of my summer travels this year by building up my portraits portfolio. Capturing images of people in their own environment can make for some striking images. I’ve found that we often only get one chance to photograph an individual in their environment as we encounter them. So it’s…
