I can hardly believe that it has been three months, but hey, time flies when you have the best job of your (relatively short) career, and you are working with awesome people.
This summer was all about the new product we are making at the Creek. It was long hours, fights about features, bickering about color choices, moving the same pixels over and over, and just about the most fun I could ever imagine having at work.
My team also had the privilege of working with absolutely amazing interns. This group of kids, and I use the term lovingly, made a mad dash from a highly imperfect spec to an amazingly polished product in just three months. The team of old fogies (average age: 26) they left in their jet wash has spent the last few weeks cleaning it up and we are marching towards a closed beta in the near future (read: weeks).
I learned an incredible amount working on this project, and I hope to share a bunch of stories over the coming months. That is, of course, if I can find the time to organize these “learnings” into a few posts that I think could be helpful to anyone other than me (an audience of one isn’t so bad, I guess).
All this means that photography has taken a bit of a back seat, but I actually have taken a bunch of shots. They sit, unedited, on my computer at home just waiting for me to mold them into something fit for human consumption. My goal for the next 7 days is to get them edited and start posting any that I think are promising.
I have high hopes for the purported psychological motivation that comes from making a public promise…
I’m looking forward to the photos!
