Bonnie knew she never wanted a conventional desk job but she didn’t know exactly what else was out there to do that didn’t involve eight hours in a chair staring at boring spreadsheets. Until, that is, she signed up to attend one of our live events in San Francisco.

It’s monsoon season in the Sonora Desert, and the cacti are fat with water. Flowers are blooming in bright, flaming red. Birds, bats, and bees swoop through the air while tarantulas, rattlesnakes, scorpions, and fluffy-tailed bunnies play hide-and-seek in the bushes. Bonnie, here, coming to you from our first-ever Storm Chasing workshop in Tucson, Arizona. […]
Whenever we run a new photo Challenge, I hear a few excuses. Things like: “I can’t participate in this Challenge because the topic is rain and it doesn’t rain here.” Or: “How can I take new travel photos if I’m not traveling this month?” Or, of course: “I can’t find the time!” Deborah Kolb took […]
