Why many photo-sharing sites and communities stink
Petteri Sulonen is right on the money:
I used to participate on Photosig, but I learned to hate it. It exerts a huge pressure of blandification — shooting for the lowest common denominator.

A minute apart
I was supposed to meet Sharon at Starbucks after I’ve foot the bill. She couldn’t find me at Starbucks, so she went looking for me.
When I reached Starbucks—a minute later—I found a man slumped over his seat, head dangling, shaking and vomiting. No one knew what to do with the man, some were even scared [...]
