The Other America: Dispatches
While the value of linked content from that pile of friends on Facebook tends toward…less than impressive, every once in a while something makes it’s way through the fray that’s worth a look. I found just such a gem the other day in the form of The Other America.
Not just your “average blog”, The Other America is a new project by writer Josh Izenberg and photographer (and, if I recall, chef and longtime wanderer) Henry Dombey, both close friends-of-a-friend. A hastily hatched idea born to allow the two a creative outlet in the face of unemployment and random wanderings, the two have vowed to combine their skills in the form of one story a month for the next twelve. The first highlights a weekend trip up the coast of California and is presented with a combination of dry humor and random factoids - well worth a read during that post-lunch slowdown when you need a quick distraction to get through hump day.
