Real moblogging

Quiet afternoon close to central Stockholm. Very warm for this time of the year… as long as the sun is up it still feels like summer. A long walk in the sun is the cure for many ills.

And spontaneity is important even for people who work with lots of photos. For instance, Nokia researcher Jan Chipchase does ethnographic work and advocates a mixture of serious preparation and very simple methods. Via Mymarkup.net
