This is one of the slides that Jan Chipchase presented. His talk about his research in sustainability with regards to technology, and issues of tech waste/reuse was really interesting. He talked about how now in places like India and China, you will find mom and pop stores that can do all kinds of repairs for you. Even more fascinating was his comment on how in China these shops will acquire design pamphlets of new cell phones in as little as 2 weeks after they are released to the market. His website:

I was walking with a friend throuhg Venice. He stopped to take a photo with his mobile phone. I offered him my camera instead. Of course, he jumped at it - mobile phone cameras are crap. Anyway he framed a photo around this suit-case (not this photo but a different one). He volunteered to me that he thought it was an excellent Jan Chipchase photo. I thought about his for awhile and thought it was pretty interesting. it reminded me of being in London 5 years ago and people talking about something as "blogable". Anyway, this was as simple as a moment when people were moving out of an apt. yet imagine the possibilities of captions for the photo
