Spent this Saturday morning at Eric’s, where we worked on “The Project” and discussed a range of topics from fear-driven politics to creativity and innovation to culture and education. We compared notes on the 2014 Dean Kamen documentary, “SlingShot” (available on Netflix and YouTube) and talked about figures like Leonard Da Vinci and Michelangelo. I told him about meeting and photographing Buckminster Fuller (when I had a press pass to the World Cooperation Conference in Santa Monica in the late 70s), so we naturally delved into topics like geodesic architecture, trash as a resource, and, of course, the ill-fated Dymaxion three-wheeled car. And he showed me how to carefully, painstakingly, gradually pull the dent/gash out of my rocker panel.
The problem …
And action …
