The Photography of Alice Merkel
- Throughout 2014, we've enjoyed the beautiful imagery of Cleveland, Ohio photographer, Alice Merkel. Monthly featured banner photos (above) communicate organic structure, organization, or processes found in natural systems. Images help us understand the complex dynamics of social, economic and environmental systems affecting community and economic development, and provide deeper insight into I-Open author stories by adding subtle, sophisticated nuances as only a photograph can. Thank you Alice!
The Epiphanies Blog
Based on brief entrepreneurial "Ah, Ha! " insights and accompanied by striking images, the Epiphanies blog is a favorite with readers. Fifteen authors built the blog with topics ranging from wealth, knowledge, social networks, love, complex systems and creativity to leadership. A popular post in 2014 was:
- IN THE NAME OF REST AND LOVE by Olanrewaju Tejuoso, an Abeokuta, Nigeria based artist who uses wastes such as discarded sachet water bags, empty cans and packets of beverages and fast food wrappers for his sculptures and installations.
