    Thank you for watching my TEDx Talk.

  • My new book: "50 Sad Chairs"

    I probably should mention that my new book is out. It’s published by the weird and wonderful folks at BlueQ. It’s a nice little photo book of the sad chairs of St. Louis. No, really.

Everyone who does so gets a cool prize, and I’ll buy one winner something from their Amazon Wish List (priced within reason). Deadline: […]
