Creativity Explored

At work, we're  producing a series of videos profiling local nonprofit organizations. Over the last week, I've had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the video shoots, spending some quality time with a few of the featured organizations.The experience has been incredible. On a day-to-day basis, I'd say my colleagues and I remain largely removed from the organizations and individuals our platform serves. Sure, ostensibly we know quite a bit about the folks on our site. We've got data galore, spreadsheets a-poppin', charts and graphs (line, pie, venn) that show, to the very dollar, the impacts of fundraisers. But, nothing can possibly compare to seeing that impact in the flesh, up close and personal, alive and very eager to show you, say, a really cool painting of Adele he just made.That was exactly the situation in pretty much every photo above, taken during our visit to Creativity Explored. Creativity Explored is a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization and visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit, and sell art. This year, CE will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Most of the people I know in San Francisco, didn't even know it existed. Hopefully, they do now. :)Anywho, just wanted to share. If you have the time and the inclination, I highly recommend stopping by their gallery and studio. Here's the relevant info:

San Francisco Animal Care & Control

San Francisco Animal Care & Control is San Francisco's "only open door animal shelter that accepts any animal - in any condition - of any temperament. SF ACC is responsible for the City’s stray, injured, abandoned, neglected and mistreated animals - of all species - and wildlife. All varieties of animals are available for adoption daily."

Having adopted two dogs who were surrendered to shelters (Audrey came from the Pinole shelter, Penelope from  SF ACC), I feel as though I owe decades' worth of happiness and camaraderie to organizations like the SF ACC. They do so much to enrich the lives of both people and animals. I've seen that impact first hand.Please join me in supporting the SF ACC's latest fundraiser, Bringing Music to Their Ears, which will supply the facility with a state-of-the-art sound system to sooth and calm shelter animals and the people who care for them in an often hectic, loud, and stressful environment.

Secret: Team Building Exercises Are Sometimes Awesome

Last week, our company had a team-building afternoon consisting in a mission-based scavenger hunt that took us all over San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. It was a long, hot day full of not entirely welcome silliness, but, truth be told: there were some pretty enjoyable moments. My favorite is shown in the images below. Our team (Team Razoo Dazzle!) was asked to depict ourselves in our best possible and worst possible moments as captured by the paparazzi.I honestly think we should have won the game on the strength of these pictures alone.I feel tremendously fortunate to have been behind the camera for these pictures, and think the world of my teammates for their commitment to the project: Hillel face planted in some playground sand. Kids pee in that stuff. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Fort Point v.1

Ben and I have recently started going to Fort Point/Crissy Field on the weekends. We walk around, watch the doggies playing on the beach and make up little stories about what the dogs are saying/thinking. "You'll never catch me, losers! Wait, catch me!" Or, "Throw the ball, throw it, c'mon, throw the ball, omg throoooowwwww it." Or "This water is so much colder than I expected. I regret all my life choices!" I wonder whether people hear us and think we're insane.We just miss having a dog, you judgmental jerks. Dang.
