Sunset Safe

One thing we haven't dwelt on is the heavy sense of security we feel and see everywhere, especially at 5-star places but elsewhere too. There may be absolutely no one enforcing driving laws on the roads, but at hotel entrances, your car is searched underneath, in the boot, and even the glove compartment. And nearly every mall, building, train station and hotel has a metal detector. Here, during our last sunset there's a guard protecting the sunset. (Then again, the service here at the Park Hyatt has been bizarre since we arrived.)

Summer Programs. Extra-Wide Shoes. Big Lessons in Small Space Ads.

New column up at The Faster Times about small space advertising, something I think big and small businesses could be better at and do more of. I recount my observations about the New Yorker and a campaign I ran for a photographer twenty years ago which has stuck for me. I even dug up the headlines and tagline for it.
