One more quote to start this week-end:

“Despite being a citizen of the digital world, or maybe because he knew to well its isolating potential, Jobs was a strong believer in face-to-face meeting. There’s a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by iChat or e-mail. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what you’re doing, you say wow!, and soon you’re cooking up all sort of ideas”

and

“People don’t know what they want until you show it to them”

no time to write, just saying: good luck with the edit and NG selection. Will be looking in June :))….I’m no NG editor for sure, but I would totally lead with the Photo Crew pic and you with that golden surfer hair (where have the years/follicles gone? ;)))>….love that old pic…an a great intro….

sure the essay will sing :))

cheers

the photographer is always at the heart of the stories at NG…after all it is a picture driven magazine and only the photographer has actually “been there” and is often working off her/his own idea in the first place…so photographer involvement has always been a part of the NG experience…still, the editor, in this case Chris Johns makes the final decisions….yet he is not a tyrant , nor have i ever seen a tyrant at NG…the decision are not made in a vacuum, and really depend mostly on space limitations or on type of content appropriate for their demographic….

Thank YOU.. for caring about us, this audience here.. would be so much easier just doing your own stuff, instead you take the time and energy to give what to me seems the logical, yet unexpected continuation to theriobook workshop. Between you and Frostfrog there’s enough input to last for a while!

As civi says: “what not to love”?!?!?!

great quotes from Jobs…yes, this is what makes people do great things….must be 100% PERSONALLY involved…i mean you gotta CARE…

speaking of, thanks for CARING…much appreciated..only sorry i did not jump in here sooner…i literally did not and do not have much spare time..thanks for your patience….

for sure very few realize the process to magazine publication….things always look easier or less complex than they actually are….

anyway, stay tuned…this interview exclusive to Burn with Chris Johns, Editor NatGeo…i cannot promise he will have the time nor the inclination to answer your questions…i will gently ask…if he does, it would be a first….students always ask me how editors think, how they choose, how and why they decide this or decide that….you who are here will at least know way more after this interview than you did before….right from the number one source….

cheers, david

…engineers are taught to make a decision analitically, but there are times when relying on gut intuition is most indispensable.

Below a whole paragraph about Apple engagement, focus, aim and commitement, months after the released of the iPod:

“The older I get, the more I see how motivations matter… We won, because we personally love music. We made the iPod for ourselves, and when you’re doing something for yourself, or your best friend or family, you’re not going to cheese it out.
If you don’t love something, you’re not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo.”

Wish you a good week-end!

you’ve opened a can of worms.. on a very personal level..

But that’s not the purpose of my comment.. just bumped into this:

Not Alaska, but COLD! You might perhaps even know the photographer.. or just enjoy the video and pictures..

This is the master link to the series, to include all posts as I make them:

You’re right, memories are there.. and even memories that are not our own, but that we have heard of.. going backwards in familyalbums I know more than I could ever remember.. reconnecting with people I’ve never known, but have shaped who I am.. weird stuff..

Safe Journey ,our friend…safe journey…
