Feature Hunt

Coffee, NPR, me and the road. I have a GPS and occasionally use it on my way to assignments, but I shut it off when I'm out feature hunting. It feels great to just get lost. The biggest struggle is to get out of a warm car on a cold rainy day. But it's always worth that little extra effort to kick yourself and ditch what's comfortable.

I'm still getting use to living in Concord and figuring out what makes this area tic. A lot of times I find myself behind the wheel of my car driving the back roads and checking off the mental list of places where I previously noticed something interesting...a tire swing, a pile of wood, a deer stand in front of a gun shop. It's not the ideal plan of attack for feature hunting and I would eventually like to get to know more people and places so ideas come quicker. But for now, driving around and chatting with random people is a good way to build future connections.
