Truly Deeply/Madly

A Week of Learn­ing
Last week I spent an amaz­ing four days in Barcelona with 300 of the worlds lead­ing entre­pre­neurs attend­ing a learn­ing uni­ver­sity. The learn­ing events were fas­ci­nat­ing, and the com­pany stim­u­lat­ing to say the least. A quick Google of the speak­ers and fel­low busi­ness own­ers will pro­vide you a sense of the colour and cal­i­bre of the alumni, includ­ing; Nando Par­rado, Dr. Mario Alonso Puig, Joe Duran, Morten Lund, Alan Miltz, Car­los Muñoz, Conor Neill, and home grown entre­pre­neurs; Naomi Sim­son, Donna & Danny Guest, Chris Jacka, Melissa Bridge and Gary Rose.

A week of Inspi­ra­tion
Before, dur­ing and after the uni­ver­sity I had the chance to explore the streets, lane-ways and Ram­blas of the amaz­ing city of Barcelona, snap­ping shot after shot of the local, colour­ful and just down­right dif­fer­ent. Being of cre­ative bent, how­ever, my pics aren’t the typ­i­cal hol­i­day snaps, they usu­ally focus on a more obscure per­spec­tive. For that rea­son I’ve col­lec­tively titled them ‘A Dif­fer­ent View of Barcelona’. There’s some­thing about Spain, and Barcelona in par­tic­u­lar that is retro yet mod­ern, sub­tle yet osten­ta­tious, tra­di­tional and edgey. The fol­low­ing pics cap­ture for me the flip side to the post­card shots usu­ally asso­ci­ated with the city and peo­ple of Barcelona.

Enjoy.
