Numbers...are they better than Letters?

Numbers represent so many things from plane identification models to your age to how many cubes of sugar you take in your coffee. As I glide across the moving sidewalks in the Denver airport I couldn't help but notice the plane hanging from the girders and the personal experience of walking under a 5 foot number.

Are Camera Phones the new Holga Camera?

As we delve into techology more and more, the camera on today's smart phones reminds me of the old plastic lens on Holga Cameras. This is a quick shot I snapped at a concert recently. And the blocky blurriness of the photo is just delightful.

Cheers,
Ryan from The G Brand.
