If you are like me, most of your daily interactions with other people take place electronically. You probably interact with a greater number of distinct individuals via emails, tweets, Facebook updates, chats, and text message than you do verbally or in person. Unless you have a job that requires a great deal of public interaction like, say, a sales clerk at a busy department store.
Again, you need to be able to process those relationships quickly and efficiently. It's a basic tool for modern life. Yet that does not mean that your interactions in those mediums are any less genuine, or less soulful, even if they take place more rapidly.

March 4, 2011 : Checking in
Today, I met up with photog Jay Bryant for lunch at Tico's Eatery in Princeton. Jay and I sat down with two delicious paninis and chatted about social media (he's an expert), photography (he's really good at that too) , the job market and our kids. Jay really knows quite a bit about social media and how to leverage it for business. He works with some of the large enterprises in the area.
Jay used his iPhone to show me his portfolio site. An iPad would have been better but I am continually amazed at the kind of things the iPhone now makes possible.
It was time to head back to the office and I was in a hurry and set the DOF a little too narrow but this was the only photo I had time to take today.
